SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Hannah Higgins on 'The Grid Book'
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition Pattern\, the Grid\, and Other Systems\, artist and author Hannah B Higgins will give a talk on The Grid Book\, in which she examines the history of 10 grids that changed the world: the brick\, the tablet\, the gridiron city plan\, the map\, musical notation\, the ledger\, the screen\, moveable type\, the manufactured box\, and the net. \nPattern\, the Grid\, and Other Systems is on display in the Art and Design Gallery through December 3 and features work that utilizes and explores all aspects of repetition and pattern. Pattern is often thought of in terms of art and design: the repetition of shape in surface design. But the definition of pattern can be even more expansive: It’s a regularity or repetition in the world in general. It includes the repetition of abstract ideas as well as form. The exhibition includes two-dimensional\, three-dimensional\, and time-based artwork from FIT faculty\, students\, and distinguished alumni\, as well as from guest artists. \nThis event is for the FIT community only.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Food & Fashion — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Scott for Moschino\, chocolate bar gown\, wool/silk and polyamide-nylon blend\, fall 2014\, Italy\, museum purchase\, 2019.55.1\nSeptember 13–November 26\, 2023\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery\, The Museum at FIT \nFood and fashion are two modes of expression central to our daily lives. They address humankind’s most basic needs\, and also offer a significant window into our societies. The histories of food and fashion as consumer and cultural products have converged over the past three centuries. Fashion designers turn to food themes and motifs to comment on critical topics ranging from cultural identity to sustainability\, social activism\, and body politics\, to ideas related to femininity\, domesticity\, nostalgia\, and consumerism. \nFood & Fashion is a major exhibition exploring the relationship between these related topics. Featuring over 90 works\, it includes garments\, accessories\, and textiles by designers such as Chanel\, Delvaux\, Comme des Garçons\, Carla Fernandez\, Stella Jean\, Judith Leiber\, Issey Miyake\, William Morris\, Moschino\, Rick Owens\, Charles Frederick Worth\, and Jason Wu. Food and Fashion illuminates the dynamic relationship between these two mediums as expressed in fashion design. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public; find details about visiting The Museum at FIT at fitnyc.edu/museum/visit.

SUMMARY:Globally Connected @ FIT: The Future of Chinese Creative Fashion with a Historical Perspective
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be based on Dr. Sabine Ichikawa’s book published in 2022\, L’émergence d’une industrie créative en Asie – L’apport du Japon dans le système de mode chinois (The Emergence of a Creative Industry in Asia – Japan’s Contribution to the Chinese Fashion System) which examines the emergence of the Chinese fashion industry in the last 150 years\, and the role played by Japan. This book comes out of her PhD dissertation in business history\, earned at Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. \nDr. Sabine Ichikawa is a French scholar who has embraced academia after spending several years in the industry as a fashion designer and a brand manager. She worked in small fashion houses and large luxury groups in several countries (Italy\, USA\, Japan\, France\, China). Her expertise lies in bridging East and West through socio-cultural contextualization. Her research explores Chinese creative and cultural industries and current projects span from sustainable consumption to luxury and circular economy\, creative education\, and the impact of a Chinese “ecological civilization” and “cultural confidence” in millennials. As associate professor of marketing\, she runs two Master of Science programs in luxury marketing between Shanghai and Paris for ESSCA School of Management\, a French business school with 10 campuses. \nGlobally Connected @ FIT is hosted by the Office of International Programs\, History of Art\, and the Cultural Fellows. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; REGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Statement Sleeves — Opens
DESCRIPTION:Madame Grès\, evening gown (detail)\, navy blue silk taffeta\, circa 1980\, France\, gift of Mrs. Mildred Hilson\, 82.234.3\nJanuary 24\, 2024\nFashion and Textile History Gallery \nWhether puffed\, ruffled\, split\, or sheer\, statement sleeves have been a ubiquitous fashion trend for the past decade. These dramatic\, contemporary creations can enliven and update a wardrobe\, yet many current sleeve styles have cycled in and out of fashion for decades\, if not centuries. Although sleeves can be especially challenging to make\, they also inspire countless creative ideas. \nStatement Sleeves takes an original approach to the history of fashion. The selected garments date from the 18th century to the present\, but they are not presented chronologically. They are instead organized by type. Following an introduction to basic sleeve shapes—from gigot to raglan—visitors will encounter the myriad ways in which designers have reinterpreted and remixed sleeves through variations in material\, shape\, embellishment\, and even functionality. More than 60 styles\, all from the museum’s permanent collection\, emphasize how sleeves hold the power to define a look—in both the past and present. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Globally Connected @ FIT: Cultural Mapping of American and Chinese Dreams: Imagining Across Transpacific Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:A discussion based on Dr. Melody Li’s new book Transpacific Cartographies: Narrating the Contemporary Chinese Diaspora in the United States. The book examines how contemporary Chinese diasporic narratives address the existential loss of home for immigrant communities at a time of global precarity and amid rising Sino-U.S. tensions. Intersecting with and bridging Sinophone studies\, Chinese American studies\, and diaspora studies and drawing on theories of literary cartography\, Transpacific Cartographies demonstrates how the transpacific “maps” the Chinese diaspora draw offer their readers different paths for finding a sense of home no matter where they are. \nDr. Melody Li is assistant professor in Chinese studies at the University of Houston\, Texas. She has a PhD in comparative literature at Washington University in St. Louis. Her research interests include Asian diaspora literature\, modern Chinese literature and culture\, translation studies\, performance studies\, and cultural identities. She is the co-editor of Affective Geographies and Narratives of Chinese Diaspora (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2022). \nGlobally Connected @ FIT is hosted by the Office of International Programs\, History of Art\, and the Cultural Fellows. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; REGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: The Colorful Influence of Susan Daykin — Opens
DESCRIPTION:February 9–March 3\, 2024\nArt and Design Gallery \nThe Colorful Influence of Susan Daykin at the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Art and Design Gallery celebrates the artwork and teaching of Fine Arts Professor Susan Daykin. Throughout the 52 years she has worked at FIT\, her impact on the Fine Arts program\, its students\, and the college at large has been nothing short of profound. This exhibition will include a survey of work by Daykin and nine of her former students: Jackie Bertucci\, Jade Chan\, Abigail DeVille\, Rachel Kamali Dilmanian\, Rebecca Eden\, Carla Lynk\, Tushar Nath\, Pamela Stoicev\, and Vivian Vasquez.  \nThe exhibition will also include sculptures and objects from her own collection. Daykin acquired these objects from artisans she met over the years and throughout her travels. Her collection has deeply informed her visual sensibilities and are reflected in the breadth and colorful influence of her creative practice and teaching. \nA panel discussion with Daykin\, her colleagues\, and former students will be scheduled at some date during the exhibition. \nThe Colorful Influence of Susan Daykin is curated by Fine Arts Associate Professor Joel Werring and an alumna from FIT’s Art Market Studies MA program\, Caroline Teck. \n\nAbout the Art and Design Gallery \nThe Art and Design Gallery brings together the work of FIT students\, faculty\, alumni\, and invited outside artists in every exhibition. The gallery\, located in the glass-walled lobby of FIT’s Pomerantz Center\, is a window into the college and a window out\, serving as a space to foster learning and innovation. \nThe gallery is open 9 am to 5 pm daily. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.
