Become a member today and immerse yourself in French fashion for the entire fall season! Starting this month, Bard Graduate Center will offer a non-credit course organized by French Fashion, Women, and the First World War curators, Maude Bass-Krueger and Sophie Kurkdjian. The course highlights new research on French fashion by leading fashion scholars. The course included five individual sessions, each on a different topic relating to French fashion. Take one session or enjoy all five! Members of BGC will receive priority reservations and special discounts on all sessions in the series.

The first session in the series takes place on October 7. Fashion on Display investigates the shifting practices, strategies, and contexts of fashion display in France from 1900 to 1937. This time period is bookended by two international exhibitions held in Paris that presented fashion to the public in novel ways. Developments in mannequin design, styling, and scenography will be explored in relation to changing ideas and values associated with fashion in national and imperial contexts.
