FREE ADMISSION | Katie Murphy Amphitheatre

The new book by Justine De Young, “The Art of Parisian Chic: Modern Women and Modern Artists in Impressionist Paris,” shows how modern women used fashion and stereotypes such as the Parisienne (chic Parisian woman) or the demoiselle de magasin (shopgirl) to construct and reinvent their identities. Author and FIT Associate Professor Justine De Young will be in conversation with Hilary Davidson, chair of FIT's MA program for Fashion and Textile Studies: History, Theory, Museum Practice, about how women were seen, how they aspired to be seen, and how they navigated public life in Second Empire and Belle Époque Paris. A book signing follows the event.
