Group Action: Diversity in Museum Collections​

​

​

Fashion Studies Alliance organized an online discussion of Vanessa Friedman's recent New York Times article 'The Incredible Whiteness of the Museum Fashion Collection,' followed by a collective group action to implement diversity in the field of fashion studies. Participants were encouraged to select an item of fashion or dress which they felt would strengthen diversity in a museum collection.

 

I chose to present an outfit by fashion designer Hylan Booker for the House of Worth in 1969.
