Real Clothes, Real Lives: 200 Years of What Women Wore with Kiki Smith and Keren Ben-Horin, Part II

Dressed: The History of Fashion

What stories can our clothes tell? This week we celebrate the groundbreaking exhibition Real Clothes, Real Lives: 200 Years of What Women Wore with curators Kiki Smith and Keren Ben-Horin. The exhibit is the first to display the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection which prizes the everyday clothing of ordinary women, from hard-worn house dresses to psychedelic micro minis and modern suits to fast-food workers’ uniforms.

Can’t see the exhibit in person? Get the book here!
