Fashion Culture: Food Culture Through the Lens of Fashion

Join The Museum at FIT’s curator of education and research, Melissa Marra-Alvarez, and associate curator of costume, Elizabeth Way, who will speak in conversation with food studies scholar Fabio Parasecoli about their most recent book, Food & Fashion, which examines the influence of food culture through the lens of fashion over the last 250 years. A book signing will follow.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Museum of Food and Drink in preparation for the MFIT exhibition, Food & Fashion, slated to open in fall 2023.
