  • Clothes Make the Queen

    Virtual Presentation

    Queens throughout history have used what they wear to convey messages about their beauty, royalty, and power. From Pharaoh Hatshepsut’s false beard to Marie Antoinette’s extravagant gowns, it's time to dive into the fascinating stories of how queens across continents and time periods have dressed the part — and how their position in the public eye allowed them to speak using their appearance as much as their words.

    Led by fashion historian Caroline Ellenowitz-Hess

  • 1918 x 2021: Global Fashion in the Age of Pandemics

    Virtual Presentation

    If 2019 fashion was all about the bike shorts and slip dresses, then 2020-2021 is nothing but the mask. While COVID-19 has transformed fashion's role from adornment and fantasy to one of public safety, this is not the first time fashion has had to respond to a pandemic. This is the story of how the 1918 "Spanish Flu" Influenza Pandemic changed the meaning of fashion throughout the world, and how creativity — from fashion designers to ordinary people — can survive, and even thrive, in the darkest of circumstances.
