About this Event
This event is open to UAL staff and students only. Please bring your ID card on entry to this event.
In our LCF Archives Bring Your Own Object series, we invite you to bring in an object that relates to a particular subject or theme. We use those objects to explore the theme, and to consider the way our clothes tell stories.
In this workshop, we’re inviting LCF students to bring their own outfit, to discuss and discover the different ways in which you think about getting dressed to attend a fashion university. How do your clothes relate to LCF or to your subject, and how did you change or prepare your wardrobe to study here?
This workshop is a part of our LCF Archives Display Programme. Story of a Smock: Women and Art Education in the Early 20th Century, is a collaborative display between the Centre for Fashion Curation (CfFC) and LCF Archives.
The project is centered on an artist’s smock of unknown provenance, using genealogical and archival research to trace its wearer and uncover the garment’s wider cultural significance. Through this modest object, research explores how clothing became a symbol of women artists’ struggle for education, professional identity, and creative freedom in the early 20th century.
Spaces for this event are very limited, so booking is essential. If you can no longer make it, please cancel your ticket order so that another student or staff member can attend.
