Join me in this 8-week online seminar, where we will have a look at the reatriculation and renegotiation with hegemonic discourse, from the dressed body. Toward a critical theory of fashion, with the inclusion of the Latin American countercultural practice within the global narrative. From pachucos, cholos and xipitecas, to the Bolá of the Cuban Thaw.
Spanish speakers and bilingual parties are welcome:
I'd like to know if F.I.T. Museum is interested in a donation of St.Laurent vintage couture? If so please let me know.

I've noticed that the Museum recently had an exhibit about The Little Black Dress. Of course it is understood that few dresses can we worn on their own to their best advantage without a little help from some lingerie. Would the museum be interested (as I go through my files ) of some of the design sketches and catalogs by designers like Halston, Bill Tice, Oscar who designed for some of the lingerie companies at which I worked in the 1970s and 1980s?
Thanks for being responsible and considerate
Rarely have I come across a number of words that, although very limiting (specifically the "flyer" for the exhibition "Fabric in Fashion" that a friend has given to me) due to space have, however captured an entire history on its subject as succinctly as ELIZABETH WAY, Curator for the exhibition does, and in what an enchanting, beautiful, scholarly way! As a person who grew up surrounded by two women who rhapsodized about "Organza" and "Tafetta" (names that were left indelible in my heart due to THEM) I was brought back in time to what Ms. Way so vividly introduces us to: the subject of fabric -----and how, alas such a world of knowledge and delight was almost forgotten due to manufacturing in large scale, globalization----and so much more. THANK YOU for opening a portal to the past for me-----who, ever curious, will take a long look at this wonderfully complex history...!!!
Invite "The First Shoe Collection" for a visit to the museum ;)
