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-closes/ 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;VALUE=DATE:20230328 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230329 DTSTAMP:20260503T052347 CREATED:20230112T152302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230112T152302Z UID:10007268-1679961600-1680047999@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:17th Annual Sustainable Business and Design Conference: Ideas at Work DESCRIPTION:March 28 and 29\, 2023 \nFIT is pleased to announce the date for our 17th Annual Sustainable Business and Design Conference\, Ideas at Work.
