And fashion\u2019s fan-favorite designer Christopher John Rogers sent chunky knitted sets with enormous pockets down the runway just days before. Once a utilitarian symbol and now an embellishment, pockets have fast become this season\u2019s most prominent ornamentation, popping up en masse on Miu Miu miniskirts, Dion Lee corsets, Blumarine minidresses, Isabel Marant shorts, and The Attico boots, among other things. They\u2019re truly everywhere, hidden in plain sight. It used to be that you\u2019d consider yourself lucky if your dress had pockets, but now, the form of portable storage has somehow transcended utilitarian status as the next It accessory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of pockets in women\u2019s fashion goes back even further, and represents something even more important. By the 17th century, women started wearing tie-on pockets. \u201cThe development of tie-on pockets during the 17th century was a defining moment for women, providing an extremely popular detachable accessory for carrying their possessions, similar to the function of handbags today,\u201d per V&amp;A\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/articles\/womens-tie-pockets\">exhibition<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cBags: Inside Out.\u201d According to fashion historian&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/history.case.edu\/faculty\/Einav-Rabinovitch-Fox\/\">Einav Rabinovitch-Fox<\/a>, \u201cVery quickly, pockets assumed a gendered meaning. By the end of the 17th century, men had enjoyed a well-established tradition for sewn-in, specialized pockets in their garments, while women wore mostly tie-on external pockets in various sizes. As women\u2019s detachable pockets began to disappear by the late 19th century, pockets started to symbolize independence, status, and mobility, and women\u2019s rights advocates began to associate pockets with male privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>___________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose an article about pockets because it\u2019s akin to storage in a smaller way than grocery bags or storage bins, to see unconventional ways to think about storage(pockets). Besides the typical purse or Fanny pack there have been unique pocket locations like shoes or gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>___________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bateman, K.
