F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, reflects a time of dramatic feminine transformation. Christina Johnson, Associate Curator at the FIDM Museum, will provide an overview of jazz age fashion, Hollywood film icons, and 1920s high society. It will describe how the fictional characters in Fitzgerald's best-selling novel represent the decade's new, fashionable ideals.
PMH's Textile Arts Council is proud to partner with the curatorial staff of the FIDM Museum at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Los Angeles to present a three-part lecture series featuring fashions throughout the decades. The other lectures in this series are Dressed in Diamonds: American Princesses & Gilded Age Fashion (Jaunary 19)and Pulling Down the Curtain: Exploring Walter Plunkett's Hollywood Legacy (February 2).
