You know, when a pocket sort of is there just to accentuate the hip or to suggest something sort of a fun decoration.

And when it doesn't work, it's so disappointing.

In the 20th century, women's wear begins to experiment with pockets.

Previously, pockets had been held underneath the skirt.

So a tie-on pocket, we call them.

They were tied under the skirt.

You could reach them through a slit and, you know, get at them.

But once women's wear leaves behind big skirts and corseted, you know, waist and moves into the modern era.

So think, you know, by the 1910s, 1920s,

pockets began to be integrated into women's dress.

And it just opens up this field day of decorative pockets.

Pockets become playful.

They take on different looking shapes.

I've seen pockets shaped like tennis nets and playing cards and lips and bureau drawers.

And they become a whole new avenue for designers to express and to express sort of fun ideas, but also just fun clothing.

Yeah, that has been a common complaint.

There was this amazing...

exhibition in 1944 at the Museum of Modern Art, and it was called, Are These Clothes Modern?

And Bernard Rudolfsky was an architect, and he was thinking about clothes, but he was especially infuriated about all the pockets in men's suits.

And he said, they are not actually practical.
