FREE ADMISSION | Katie Murphy AmphitheatreDr. Hilary Davidson and Summer Anne Lee
FIT professor Dr. Hilary Davidson, chair of FIT's Fashion and Textile Studies department, uses her latest book, “A Guide to Regency Dress: from Corsets and Breeches to Bonnets and Muslins,” to explore the intersections between historic fashion of the early 19th century and its fantasy fictions on screen and the runway. In conversation with FIT faculty member Summer Anne Lee, Davidson looks at the enduring popularity of the Regency period today, from Jane Austen adaptations to Bridgerton and Regencycore. A book signing follows the event.
