Presented by The Squire’s Tankard Antiques
Franklin – This year’s Old Franklin Day will feature the traditional and popular fashion show, featuring local models wearing clothing styles from the late 1800s to 2000. “From Victorian to Vintage: A Fashion Evolution” is presented by The Squire’s Tankard Antiques.
The show will take place on Saturday, August 24th at 1:00 pm in Franklin Central School at 26 Institute Street in Franklin, as part of the day-long Old Franklin Day festivities. Admission is free. The show will be curated by Donna Briggs, owner of The Squire’s Tankard, an antiques and vintage clothing business at 183 Main Street in Unadilla. Donna will be assisted by Kathy Krusinski, previously the owner of ZaSu Vintage in Stamford.
The show will take the audience on a fashion evolution from the Victorian era to 2000, with models ranging from adults to teens to young families.
Donna said, “We are bringing the show back again by popular demand. Last year’s Old Franklin Day fashion show attracted a full house. It’s fun for everyone and the range of fashions are sure to bring back great memories.”
Both Donna and Kathy’s keen interest in vintage fashion design led each of them to build an impressive collection of antique and vintage clothing and accessories and open their own businesses.
Donna has curated and presented various fashion shows and participated in antique shows across upstate New York for many years. She has provided clothing and accessories for movies and theater and has also taught classes on the history of fashion at SUNY Oneonta. Donna said, “Restoring vintage clothing is a way to preserve pieces of history. I enjoy sharing my love and knowledge of vintage clothing with others.”
Kathy said, “The fashion shows bring history to life and attract many people in our local communities. The models are local and you might just see someone you know on the runway!” Donna added, “You might even be inspired to enhance your own wardrobe with some vintage clothing or accessories. What’s old is new!”
