Bustles to Blue Jeans: Highlights from the Filson's Fashion Archive
Visit Bustles to Blue Jeans: Highlights from the Filson’s Fashion Archive
The Filson’s clothing and textile collection contains over 5,000 objects from as early as the 1810s worn for every occasion. Yet the public has only been able to view a tiny fraction of the Filson’s fashion archive over the years—just an occasional peek in the closet. This April, we’re opening the closets wide. We’ll be showing off some of our most unusual, storied, and beautiful garments—from ball gowns to bathing costumes, bustles to blue jeans. These are our favorite pieces to look at and talk about, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
This exhibit is curated by Brooks Vessels and Hannah Costelle and generously sponsored by Stock Yards Bank.
Bustles to Blue Jeans opens in the Bingham Gallery Friday, April 25, with a public opening reception from 5:30-7:00 pm. The exhibit will be open to the public Monday-Friday 9:00-4:30 until August 15.
