May 17 at 7 p.m. Fashionspeak Fridays: Statement Sleeves
Whether puffed, ruffled, split, or sheer, statement sleeves have been a ubiquitous fashion trend for the past decade. Join Colleen Hill, curator of costume and accessories at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology for an insightful look at the current Statement Sleeves exhibition she has curated and the myriad of ways in which designers have reinterpreted and remixed sleeves through variations in material, shape, embellishment, and even functionality. Colleen Hill holds an MA in Fashion and Textile Studies: History, Theory, Museum Practice from FIT, and she is currently a PhD candidate at London College of Fashion. Since joining MFIT in 2006, Colleen has curated sixteen exhibitions, including Shoes: Anatomy, Identity, Magic (2022), Reinvention and Restlessness:Fashion in the Nineties (2021), Paris Refashioned, 1957-1968 (2017), and Fairy Tale Fashion (2016). She has authored or co-authored eight books on fashion and has contributed to numerous other publications.
