Redressing American Fashion: Black Designers in the 19th and 20th Centuries
From late 19th-century dressmakers to transitional creatives who helped navigate what an American designer could be, Black people have always been a driving force in American fashion. Elizabeth Way, Associate Curator of Costume at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, will explore how Black people have significantly shaped American fashion through their style, their labor, and as innovators. Their stories, however, are often left out of the narrative. Examining the lives and careers of just a few, starts to create a more holistic understanding of American fashion and its wider impacts on culture and society.
Cost: free.
