Back Window Installation - Totally Radical: Designing the 1980s

Our Interim Director & Associate Curator Jean and Dora Agee Waller Collection Assistant Colleen worked on Back Window Installation, for the upcoming exhibition Totally Radical: Designing the 1980s. Stay tuned for the update on the exhibition! "Sweaters and the 1980s go hand-in-hand. Almost every popular fad or trend was executed in sweater format, from chunky oversized hand-knit, color-blocked, faire isle, off-the-shoulder, grunge, and preppy. These five sweaters reflect the wide range in styles, colors, and silhouettes available in the 1980s." ✓ Cashmere sweater, 1992, Missoni, Gift of Lee Hertel. ✓ Wool sweater, 1980-1989, Jhane Barnes for Lindsay Rose, Gift of Dolores Defore. ✓ Wool sweater with appliqué, 1978-1988, Escada, Gift of LaVonne Collisson. ✓ Silk sweater, 1980-1990, Koos van den Akker, Gift of Nancy M.
