The Rational Dress Society’s History of Counter-Fashion at the Museum of Arts and Design
September 28, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$5 – $10
The Museum of Arts and Design, Bard Graduate Center, and Rational Dress Society co-founders Abigail Glaum-Lathbury and Maura Brewer invite you to participate in a collective re-imagining of our relationship to dress. The performance lecture and fashion presentation chronicles a history of revolutionary and counter-fashion garb from the late 1700s to the present day. Ten models, each wearing an example of historical counter-fashion, will provide a live demonstration of each garment, walking the runway to an original score composed by Michael Webster.
This performance will be sign language interpreted.
