'Buttons hold things together, an analogy to each individual who helped hold together their family, their community, and their society.
Buttons once opened, left the people vulnerable.
Buttons were a part of all the clothes left behind
Buttons are enduring - they last long after garments have faded and unraveled . Buttons are round and symbolize the cycle of life. ....'

Indeed the button ! ... what a such small , totally unassuming and meaningful detail in the art of fashion ...

I had to watch this film several times before the power of its' message became clear to me. I feel that I should know more bout Catherine Long , for example where I can see more of her work.
This is the most memorable film I have seen so far in this project.

So strong, another film that makes this whole project totally valid.
It is only saying use your mind! Fashion doesn't have to be brain dead.
