‘The apron is the most fascinating, dizzying and crazy garment ever created,’ fashion historian Dominique Fallecker claimed in issue 34 of See All This Art Magazine. ‘It has been seen on everyone from Adam, Eve and the serpent to prehistoric men and archaic ploughmen, Egyptian gods, and the mischievous Knossos snake goddesses of Crete. Millennium after millennium, it thrives on this Earth. To define the apron is an impossible task, because it always appears when it is least expected. It is universal: always evolving but maintaining its primitive form. Ever ready to return to centre stage.’
