SUMMARY:Exhibition: Elizabeth Hawes: Along Her Own Lines — Opens
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Hawes\, ivory\, purple\, and lavender striped brocade evening dress (detail)\, c. 1936\, USA\, gift of Mrs. Dudley Schoales\, 69.156.6          Elizabeth Hawes\, multicolor cotton\, handknit man’s jockey shorts (front view)\, 1964\, USA\, gift of Barnes Riznik\, 88.65.3             Elizabeth Hawes       \nMarch 1–26\, 2023\nGallery FIT\, The Museum at FIT \nElizabeth Hawes: Along Her Own Lines is the first contemporary exhibition dedicated to the gifted American clothing designer\, author\, and labor activist\, Elizabeth Hawes (1903–1971). 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.

SUMMARY:Fashion and Textile Studies Symposium: Functions of Dress: Serving the Body and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The concept of function in dress may initially conjure ideas of utilitarianism\, but dress functions in a variety of ways to meet physical\, social\, psychological\, and cultural needs. While it can telegraph status\, class\, and wealth\, the whimsical and unexpected aspects of fashion facilitate personal expression and create psychological comfort. Clothing may also relate to the settings in which it is worn. Forms of dress as disparate as theater costume and workwear can both function to protect the body from injury and to facilitate movement. At times\, the meanings and functions of a specific type of clothing may change when it is adopted by a different group. \nIn this symposium\, students in FIT’s MA program in Fashion and Textile Studies will present papers on a range of historical and contemporary topics. From leisurely 19th-century tea gowns to sturdy 21st-century workwear apparel\, from the avant-garde fashions of Elsa Schiaparelli to the fiberglass toes of contemporary Irish dance shoes\, these studies drawing from primary sources such as extant objects\, photographs\, memoirs\, interviews and oral histories will explore how dress functions in human lives. \nOrganized and presented by students in the Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice Master of Arts program \nThis event is for the FIT community only. A video of the presentations will be posted after the event.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Asian Americans in New York Fashion: Design\, Labor\, Innovation — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Vivienne Tam\, dress\, spring 1998\, USA\, gift of Vivienne Tam\, 98.50.1\nMarch 2–27\nGallery FIT \nAsian Americans in New York Fashion: Design\, Labor\, Innovation celebrates the Asian American community’s diverse contributions to the fashion industry. The recent rise of violent\, racially motivated attacks against Asian Americans in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need to increase support and awareness around the complex narratives and expansive achievements of this community. New York City is a fashion capital with a large and diverse Asian American community whose members contribute to every aspect of fashion production\, from manufacturing to creative design. This exhibition does not attempt to represent the entire Asian American experience; instead\, it highlights the depth and variety of Asian American design through object-based analysis. The exhibition examines topics such as labor and process in addition to exploring design motivation. \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; visit the exhibition webpage for details.

SUMMARY:Annual Fashion and Textile Studies Research Symposium: Clothing as Craft: People\, Process\, Product
DESCRIPTION:Craft in clothing has been used to solidify communities and identities for millennia\, emphasizing tradition\, promoting resistance and social change\, or purely serving as a structure for creating art. In what ways do clothing and craft converge? From couture’s handwork to homemade everyday clothing\, both within the fashion system and in purposeful anti-fashion\, clothing provides a canvas for craft expression. The artisan’s time\, labor\, and even physical body are intimately connected to the final product\, prompting questions regarding the extent of handwork necessary to qualify as craft. \nIn this symposium\, students in FIT’s MA program in Fashion and Textile Studies will present papers on a range of historical and contemporary topics\, investigating craft objects\, makers\, and practices. From smocking in 19th-century Dress Reform to 20th-century home-crochet patterns\, from couture embroidery by Lesage to punk DIY\, these studies will explore the ways in which concepts of artisanship affect our notions of clothing’s value and authenticity. \nOrganized and presented by students in the Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice Master of Arts program\, School of Graduate Studies. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Fashion and Textile Studies Symposium: Dressing New York: Identity and Experience
DESCRIPTION:A commercial and cultural capital\, New York is the center of the American fashion industry\, home of fashion innovators in design\, production\, and retail. Creators of both luxurious custom clothing and ready-to-wear sportswear have found a place in New York\, as have the retailers who marketed and sold these items and the journalists who authored the fashion news for the American public. Yet the New York dress experience goes beyond the industry\, encompassing a diversity of expressions of individuals and subcultures\, all drawn to the energy of this place of extremes. \nIn this symposium\, students in FIT’s MA program in Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice will present papers on a range of topics\, investigating New York dress in the 19th and 20th centuries. From issues of gender and dress reform to design milestones and triumphs of the mainstream fashion system\, New Yorkers reimagine and reinvent themselves through dress. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
