Common Threads: History of Fashion through a Woman’s Eyes
Belinda Orzada, Vicki Cassman,
The exhibition Common Threads: History of Fashion through a Woman’s Eyes will chronicle 20th century women’s fashion and explore the meaning of fashion and art in social and historical contexts. The exhibition, to be held in the West Gallery of Old College in spring 2013, will link material culture research through garments for students, scholars and the public. The exhibition will feature highlights from the treasures housed in the Historic Costume and Textiles Collection within the Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies. This interdisciplinary research project combines the expertise of faculty, staff and students from Fashion and Apparel Studies, Art Conservation, Art History, University Museums and Women’s Studies.
