SUMMARY:Fashion Culture Online Event: From Goodwill to Grunge: The Joyful Rebellion of Vintage Fashion
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Cobain on the cover of Request magazine\, November 1993.\nJennifer Le Zotte in conversation with Colleen Hill \nArtists and performers—from Marcel Duchamp and Fanny Brice to Janis Joplin and  Kurt Cobain—all helped make secondhand fashion a visual marker for youth in revolt. Jennifer Le Zotte’s book\, titled From Goodwill to Grunge (UNC Press\, 2017)\, looks at how clothing\, style\, and commerce came together to change American culture and examines how secondhand goods sold at thrift stores\, flea markets\, and garage sales came to be both profitable and culturally influential. Le Zotte traces the origins and meanings of “secondhand style” and explores how buying pre-owned clothing went from a signifier of poverty to a declaration of rebellion. Considering buyers and sellers from across the political and economic spectrum\, Le Zotte shows how conservative and progressive social activists—from religious and business leaders to anti-Vietnam protesters and drag queens—shrewdly used the exchange of secondhand goods for economic and political ends. \nAbout Fashion Culture Programs \nThe Museum at FIT’s fall Fashion Culture programs have moved online! All programs will premiere on the museum’s YouTube channel at 6 pm on the designated day. Please subscribe to the channel for information about future events. \nThis event is free and open to the public; Premieres on YouTube here.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Mandela: The Inspirational Style of a Revolutionary Statesman and World Leader — Opens
DESCRIPTION:October 13–November 7\nFashion and Textile History Gallery \nNelson Mandela’s “Madiba” shirts were dramatically different from the conventional western suits worn by most politicians in South Africa and around the world. They were also the opposite of the hateful\, drab prison garb that he was forced to wear for almost three decades. Made of brightly-patterned silk\, Mandela’s Madiba shirts became emblematic of post-apartheid freedom\, and were particularly meaningful to the Black majority of South Africans. \nSeveral of these shirts and one of Mandela’s suits will be on view at The Museum at FIT before they will be auctioned off at Guernsey’s Auction House with other historic objects to raise funds for a Nelson Mandela Memorial Garden in South Africa. \nVisit fitnyc.edu/museum for new museum hours and for visitor protocols. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.
