Fashion Culture: Parts of Fashion: Curating in Focus

Join us for a panel discussion that brings together two MFIT exhibitions: Statement Sleeves curated by MFIT Curator of Costume and Accessories Colleen Hill, and Untying the Bow, organized by students in FIT’s Fashion and Textile Studies master’s degree program. Hill will be in conversation with FIT faculty member Sarah Byrd and graduate student Claire Calvert as they discuss the issues and processes of exhibitions that are focused on one part of a garment, such as sleeves, pockets, or bows. The panel will be moderated by Hilary Davidson, chair of Fashion and Textile Studies.

Fashion Culture programs are organized by The Museum at FIT to provide new perspectives on the culture of fashion. All programs are free unless otherwise indicated. However, reservations are strongly encouraged, as space is limited. See a full calendar of spring 2024 Fashion Culture Program events on the museum website.
