David Ring

Drawing made by David Ring for the visualisation of the Europeana Fashion Thesaurus. The description of the concept in this drawing is: Leg coverings, sometimes woven in one with panties, that extend to the ankle and usually cover the foot; generally knitted or woven, sheer or opaque, and of lightweight or heavy fabric. Distinguish from "footwear", which is primarily worn as coverings for the feet.
