B. BLACK & SONS
Last week I accompanied my wife, Maggie Morgan (@maggiemorgan922), a costume designer, into the fabulous B. Black & Sons - specializing in wool and suit fabrics - in downtown Los Angeles. She is designing a suit for an actress in an upcoming adaptation of "1984" at the Aurora in Berkeley.
I asked for, and immediately got, permission to photograph the place, and these pics are the result from our brief visit. The last slide shows the swatch samples she will be working from. Many fine costumes for movies, television, and theatre - not to mention people's actual, real-life clothes (hello, Michelle Obama!) - have been built out of the fabrics from this place, which opened in 1922.
