Annual Presidential Gala – “Fashionable Art – from the 20s and 30s”
Rolland Art Center, Weatherhead Gallery
Opens Saturday September 8, 2012 - 6-9pm
Runs through October 12, 2012
The Fashionable Art: Apparel from the 1920s and 30s Exhibition will showcase pristine examples of Art Deco gowns and accessories from a private art collection. The fashions represent a time of immense social change for women illustrated through decadent vintage style. Through the 20’s and 30’s there was an explosion of exuberance in design. The excitement of Jazz Age life, prohibition, and the idealization of college gave a youthful emphasis to fashion. This was a period of great experimentation -- the first time in centuries that designers had a truly different silhouette to work with. Innovative seaming, draping, gauzy fabrics, beads, and feathers were all called upon. This love of surface embellishment and abstract, graphic design is a general characteristic of art deco design. This promises to be a unique opportunity to see a rare collection of significant fashion pieces.
