A watercolour painting of a ‘Clothing Library Mall’, with colourful shop fronts called ‘First Ave Fashion’, ‘Guild’, ‘Gutherie’ and ‘Southside 1965’. Standing signs with arrows point to ‘Gallery’ and ‘’Mending event tonight’. Shop windows display garments, with signs reading ‘1970 - Today’ and ‘Try it out!’. A banner reads “#narrating garments show us your style!’.
