Join us as we speak with Helen Jean, the Jacquie Dorrance Curator of Fashion Design at the Phoenix Art Museum. The museum’s fashion design collection features nearly 6,000 objects of couture, accessories, and ephemera. Spanning nearly five hundred years, from the historical to the ultra-contemporary, the fashion design collection is one of the most unique of its kind in the world.

Her educational background includes a BFA from Stephens College in Fashion Design, and an MFA from the University of Lincoln- Nebraska in Costume Design, along with focused study at the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, NE.
