The show opens at a crucial moment when Hawes is especially relevant\, because her activism and innovative philosophies correspond to the concerns of today. Hawes criticized the exploitative\, classist nature of the fashion industry and sought to revolutionize it in her own creations\, and through her writing and unionization efforts. She created gender nonbinary clothing and encouraged women to embrace their unique bodies with an open-minded positivity that was ahead of its time. Hawes further used writing and journalism to challenge the fashion industry from the inside\, and called for people to think consciously about what they wear—with words that remain influential. \nRead the full description on The Museum at FIT’s website. \nThis exhibition is presented by students in FIT’s Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice MA program.  This program builds knowledge in fashion and textile history\, object conservation\, and exhibition theory over the course of two years. During their second year\, students utilize the interdisciplinary skills they have acquired through the program to collaborate with The Museum at FIT\, developing and installing an exhibition of fashion objects from MFIT’s collection. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-elizabeth-hawes-along-her-own-lines-opens/ LOCATION:Gallery FIT\, The Museum at FIT\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Public GEO:40.7536854;-73.9991637 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gallery FIT The Museum at FIT Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-73.9991637,40.7536854 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230301T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230301T163000 DTSTAMP:20260414T172233 CREATED:20230221T144928Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230222T170138Z UID:10007284-1677684600-1677688200@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:The Best of Both Worlds: The Fusion of Fashion and Finance DESCRIPTION:  \n Fe Noel Lynnette Khalfani-Cox \nBrought to you by TIAA\, Fe Noel\, founder and designer of Fe Noel and CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund recipient responsible for designing “The Dre$$\,” and Lynnette Khalfani-Cox\, a personal finance expert and New York Times bestselling author of 15 money management books\, will cover the worlds of fashion and finance and how to best set yourself up for success. \nFe’s “Dre$$” is on display on the Eighth Floor of the Dubinsky Student Center through March 1 to promote this talk.
