Conversation Pieces: Stories from the Fashion Archives with Jill D'Alessandro
–
Join Jill D’Alessandro, Director and Curator of the Avenir Institute of Textile Arts and Fashion, for a behind-the-scenes look at Conversation Pieces: Stories from the Fashion Archives.
Showcasing nearly 70 designs, the exhibition explores DAM’s permanent fashion collection, pairing the historic with the avant-garde to create surprising juxtapositions. In this talk, D’Alessandro will share a few of the stories behind these garments and how they entered the museum’s holdings.
