Dress & Drinks: Missouri Historical Society | Conversations on Dress | Costume Society of America

Join us as we speak with Adam MacPhàrlain, Curator of Clothing and Textiles at the Missouri Historical Society. Before entering the field, Adam studied both in the U.S. and abroad, always focusing on fashion. In addition to his education, Adam freelanced and worked for the Cincinnati Art Museum before joining the Missouri Historical Society. This collection spans over 18,000 items and is almost as old as the museum itself. These objects are divided into three collections including the Katherine Dunham collection, which centers on dancer Katherine Dunham; the Veil Prophet Collection, a collection that features a local philanthropic society; and a broader historical collection.
