SUMMARY:Exhibition: Threads of Bondage\, Invisibility\, and Style Influence: Hidden African American Contributions to American Couture (Revisited) — Closes
DESCRIPTION:February 11–March 31 \nIt is estimated that between 1525 and 1866 some 12.5 to 15 million African men\, women\, and children were violently forced from Western and Central Africa into brutal captivity to provide labor for the Western Hemisphere. Approximately 450\,000 of the 10.5 million who survived the overseas voyages were sent to North America to be enslaved. Within this environment developed highly skilled and valued enslaved dressmakers and seamstresses. The exhibition is in tribute to the many unrecognized women who but for their bondage would have been recognized as “designers.” \nItems on view are provided courtesy of the Leonard Davis collection. \nThe exhibition is located on the west side of the fourth floor corridor connecting the Business and Liberal Arts Center and the Dubinsky Student Center.

SUMMARY:FIT Authors: Sharon Rothman
DESCRIPTION:At this FIT Authors event\, Assistant Professor Sharon Rothman talks about her book The Fashion Designer’s Sketchbook. \nThe Fashion Designer’s Sketchbook is a step-by-step guide to making and using sketchbooks as an experimental design lab to visually explain your design ideas. Three distinct types of sketchbook\, each representing a different phase in the design process\, evolve from initial inspiration journal\, to design development sketchbook\, to the job-search presentation sketchbook as portfolio companion. The power of a sketchbook lies in visual storytelling. In these pages\, professional designers and student contributors tell the visual story of the creative process with their unique sketchbook examples\, and concept-to-design experimentations\, throughout a range of aesthetic levels and target markets. Individual editing scenarios\, sketching styles\, and graphic strategies show how to project aesthetics into a cohesive sketchbook presentation. \nFIT Authors is a collaboration between the Faculty Senate Library Committee and the FIT Library to showcase the scholarship and creativity of the FIT community\, as well as to promote our collections. Each semester\, the Faculty Senate Library Committee collects submissions from authors within the FIT community (faculty\, staff\, and alumni) to create informative profiles. The FIT Library features these authors and their works in a rotating display\, and hosts an FIT Authors event twice a semester. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
