Ralph Lauren—The Field Is Wide Open!
Sidebar to: 1990 Excavations
Casual utility reigns supreme over haute couture. That’s our conclusion after studying dig fashion photos submitted by BAR readers. The days are long past when fedoras, walking sticks, elegant dresses and well-tailored jackets graced excavation site photos. Fortunately, designer dig apparel hasn’t yet hit today’s market, so for the time being: anything goes!
Our favorite submission came from Kay Livingston of Salt Lake City, Utah. Standing in front of the tent they would call home during the dig at Lachish, Kay (second from right in the photo) and her tentmates, newly found friends from Australia, appear about to break into song and dance. Their white tennis shoes and dust-free appearance mark them as new arrivals at the dig.
