Join Jill D’Alessandro, Director and Curator of the Avenir Institute of Textile Arts and Fashion at the DAM, for a behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition "Conversation Pieces: Stories from the Fashion Archives," opening Feb 15.
Showcasing nearly 70 designs, the exhibition explores the 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.
