Ana Flores opens the first edition of Worn Stories, an ethnography of dress that offers an intimate look at how identity, community, and history shape the language of personal style.
Gorgeous--Ana has a great eye for color. The hot pink and icy blue blouses look beautiful and I love the final dress and booties--and the way Ana's work, style, courage and spirituality all shine through her clothes. And thanks for profling a house cleaner. I've both been a cleaner and employed one and can say from both sides what important work it is.
“Getting dressed for sunday Church is important to me. A quiet ritual, as if I’m choosing clothes for the presence of God. It’s about respect, honoring my spiritual life, this anchor that held me steady when I felt like I was drowning.” What a beautiful statement. For me, it reflects a great sense of strength and self knowledge. Thank you for introducing us to Ana.
Cici es un ejemplo de un inmigrante que aporta a un país, símbolo de la reciprocidad. Aceptó desde el primer día que se debía adaptar a esta cultura que aunque no perfecta, es la mejor y esta demostrado!
I started reading because I loved the orange dress in the first photo. And then wow. I have to agree that this was one of the best style pieces I’ve read here and anywhere.
This was incredible. Truly one of the best fashion adjacent pieces I’ve read on Substack. Excited for this series.
