Colloquium | Michelle McVicker 'The Traces of Use:' The Dresses of Frida Kahlo

Michelle McVicker 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. Michelle McVicker is the collections and education assistant at The Museum at FIT.
