How did Tunisian crochet turn silly fashion ?
mir...@actcom.co.il
to `silly` fashion.
Ps Nobody seemed to mention that Tunisian Crochet = Afgahan Crochet,
the name depends on where you learned to crochet this way.
I am amused when people use word like silly about fashion. There are
so many background factors that influence fashion, from economic
situations - to social developments, Migrating cultural ideas
etc...... Silly or clever has nothing to with it . Clothes of former
years seem aometimes odd to us because our eyes got USED to different
looks, But they are related to different social behaviours/
expectations.

A lot of those wild fashion trends come directly from Israel. They are
very fashion forward, have fabulous designers and fashion is an important
industry there.

The one that drives me NUTS, COMPLETELY NUTS is the exposed boxer shorts
between jean and shirt. Sometimes with shirt tucked into said boxers.

I'm not a historian or a fashionista but I've got to say that 'silly' is
a good word to describe some fashion trends and the people who adopt
them.
I won't be around to see it but in 50 years the retirement communities
will be filled with old geezers of both sexes who pull off their clothes
to show off their tattoos or the scars left by tattoo removal.

Yeah, I see my daughter's friends (20-somethings both men and women) with
big graphic tattoos and it kinda breaks my heart! What will their
skin/tattoos look like in twenty years? Hideous stuff.
These are normal people with jobs for crying out loud. Maybe I am too old to
understand this trend. Just looks baaaaad to me.

Remember the trend of wearing boxers on the OUTSIDE?
I had to try to explain to the little old lady next to me on the bus
that (a) I was pretty sure this was a girl, (b) she had not forgotten to
put on her outer garment, she was wearing it under the undergarments,
(c) this is the "in thing" and I don't like it either.

My beloved DSD rompoed home to show us her latest: a walloping great
line-drawing rendition of Betty Grable that stretches from her elbow to
her shoulder! Not only that, but she's had an enormous red rose,
imperfectly drawn by her girlfriend, tattoed immediately to the left of
Betty on her *inner* arm! It's about four inches in diameter and looks
like nothing more than a major skin lesion!
My DSD has beautiful creamy fair skin, blonde hair and gorgeous china
blue eyes. And big, black tatts.

The LOW CUT belt Jeans and Belly button showing , came from the Big
Jeans makers who were looking for some New way to sell Jeans to a
world that had enough jeans. By lowering the cut of the belt, millions
of people felt their older jeans were `out of style`, and HAD to Buy
NEW jeans.
This lowering of the belt, + the many people who travelled to the east
[where shorter blouses are worn under Sarries and Sarongs] + world
warming, made it easy for people from all over the world to adopt this
new trends.
I thank you for having such a trust in our fashion industry. But we
make mostly swimwear and underwear, this are the 2 big Israeli
textile industries. Low belt cut Jeans are mostly `invented` by
American designers and sewn in some `low salary` country.

I disagreed with the term silly , esp in connection with Teens
clothes , because This is their age of `trying out things`, And
dressing up in ways that look `strange` to grown ups , is the least
probelematic in teenagers` behaviours.
And as you write ,, You draw lines to the what they can or can not
wear. Maybe other parents draw other lines. I would and do use the
term Beautiful and or Ugly about fashion , but Silly ,,, NO NEVER .
I am an observer, i try to learn the Why behind some fashions.

I certainly did mention in one of my notes that. I only learned to call it
Tunisian Crochet in the past few years and even passed an old pattern book
for "Afghan" crochet to someone who was interested in it.

But some designer started the whole thing and then it became a "race" to see

But those were for modesty's sake. Now the new fashions are often anything
but modest.

I visited Israel way back in 1982, and I remember seeing some very
outrageous fashions there even way back then, including topless women in the
Jerusalem Hilton. And I'm sure you will readily agree that some of the
bathing suits and garments that are designed in Israel are very avant garde
and daring.

I certainly hope not !!! Who or what would want to take credit for that
ugly look? It probably comes from Brazil where they wear bathing suits
that look like they're made out of dental floss.
Cheryl Isaak
Ah yes, the home of some of the tackiest "fashion" in the world.
There had been a store advertising "Brazilian Lingerie". Went in one day (on
a bet) with a girl friend. Honey child (as the saying goes), I wouldn't have

I ask myself the same question. DD came home on her 18th birthday with
an ugly tattoo on her arm, and when I saw it, I said to her, "Well,
you're the one who'll pay to have it removed in 20 years." She still
hasn't forgiven me for that remark! (Two years later....but in 20 years
it'll be a different story, I suspect)

I resent that you are calling me negative about Israeli fashion. I'm not

Actually, Mirjam, you haven't read every book there is on these
techniques. I have a highly valued resource (Weldon's of London) and it
was also known as tricot crochet. That name may have died out in time.
Since this type of crochet is like knitting, perhaps that's how it
also got that name. In any event, it is a third name for the technique.

Interesting, since Norway is the home of some awesome heavy/black/death

have any immediate connection to that scene, though. There's one kid

now 3+ feet long, and I'm doing a single-crochet border around the

crochet hook in variegated yarn, so I don't hear it calling me for

enough interest. And the practice piece won't go to waste - I'll donate
it to Central Maryland Can Too [www.centralmarylandcantoo.org], a local
