About this Event
In the early 20th century, American fashion largely imitated French designs. However, Claire McCardell’s transformative study abroad experience in Paris led her to recognize the need for a uniquely American fashion identity.
Join curator Amanda Cacich to discover how McCardell's boundless creativity helped shape the "American Style" that is so much a part of our lives today
Mount Mary Fashion students will share an inspiring firsthand account of their own Paris study abroad experience including insights, discoveries, and the impact of studying fashion in one of the world’s most iconic style capitals
