Love and War: A One-Day Symposium
Saturday, September 9, 2006
9:00am - 5:00pm
Modern fashion is often inspired by what might be called the discourse of silk and steel. As designers seek to express both sensuality and power, they draw on two important sources of inspiration: lingerie and armor. This program will explore historical and contemporary issues of armor and intimate apparel in fashion. Speakers will include Jeffrey Forgeng, Higgins Armory Museum; Ruel Macaraeg, fashion historian; Tanya Marcuse, photographer; Tricia Rose, professor of American Studies at UC Santa Cruz, and Valerie Steele, director of The Museum at FIT.
Additional speakers and a schedule for the day have yet to be determined.
Please visit the MFIT website later in the summer for further details.
