Colloquium | Sarah Scaturro “Full of Vice: The Conservator’s Collection”

Sarah Scaturro at The Museum at FIT's Fashion Unraveled Colloquium, held on Saturday, September 29, 2018. Inspired by the MFIT exhibition Fashion Unraveled and organized by MFIT and the Fashion Research Network, this one-day colloquium explored the concepts of memory, wear, and imperfection in fashion. Speakers focused on imperfect garments and the significance of dressing as a habitual, intimate, and ephemeral act.

In 2017, she curated The Secret Life of Textiles: Synthetic Materials, an exhibition focused on the ephemerality of modern and contemporary fashion. From 2006 to 2012, she was the textile conservator and assistant fashion curator at the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
