The “Cold Shoulder”
Tom Scott, assistant professor, Fashion Design, on the “cold shoulder” look, as worn by Dolly Parton: “You would layer a jacket over it, and then you’d take your jacket off, and it was a surprise shoulder. You still saw a little bit of skin. There was a subtle sexiness to it.”

Overlooked Ann Lowe
Elizabeth Way, assistant curator, The Museum at FIT, on designer Ann Lowe: “Her work was overwhelmingly pretty. It wasn’t radical, or meant to be. Even in the sixties, she was still inspired by the nineteenth century, and by a nostalgic ideal of femininity. Yet I also think it’s important to appreciate what breathtaking courage she had.”
