- What are some specific examples the author mentions about the ways that historical events have impacted dress practice?
- How has the historical event of the Covid-19 pandemic impacted your own personal dress practice?
- Do you agree with Friedmanās assessment as to what post-pandemic fashion will (or is starting to) look like?
- How do you see the author describing āthe fashion impulseā in this article?
