Join MCHC as we explore what attracts contemporary fashion designers, historians, and writers to the legendary Maryland designer, Claire McCardell. This virtual conversation will include guests Tory Burch, American Fashion Designer and Entrepreneur; April Calahan, co-creator/host of the podcast Dressed: The History of Fashion; and Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson, a Baltimore-based storyteller who writes about architecture, design, cities, culture, and of course, Claire McCardell. Victoria Pass, PhD, Associate Professor of Fashion and Design History at The Maryland Institute College of Art will moderate. Speakers will discuss how they personally connect with Claire and her work, and what happened in their personal journeys when they found Claire’s designs.
Hosted by Margot Kopera, MCHC Director of Learning and Interpretation
