This is one of my favorite details from the halftime show: the ribbed knit top worn while waving Haiti’s flag was basically a quiet conversation with history. It echoes photographer Jay Maisel’s Haiti, 1973 series, specifically the picture "Haiti No. 59". Maisel once said those images came from “a nostalgic view of better times,” and somehow that nostalgia found its way onto one of the biggest stage in the world. From a street corner in 1973 and a fresko cart to a global halftime show decades later, same colors, same soul, "same" Haiti. Fashion as memory. Culture as continuity. 🇭🇹✨ Thank you for this ❤️ @_dilemmer

Thank you @Bedatri and @voguemagazine for covering the @NYHistory "The New York Sari." I’m honored that my mother’s story, along with the stories of many South Asian women, are profiled in this piece and exhibition. vogue.com/article/new-york-s…

Briefly back to say: yesterday, I was laid off after 10 years at HuffPost. I’m obviously gutted. But once I take a breath, I’ll be open to jobs & freelance work, both in journalism and outside of it, given the state of our industry. bymarinafang@gmail.com; Signal: marinafang.72
