Mad Fashions, Stylish Eccentrics & Those Who Satirized Them

At the Driehaus Museum, Alex Aubry — director of the School of the Art Institute’s Fashion Resource Center — leads a talk on how satire has served as a visual record of social mores, tastes, and opinions on fashionable dress. The lecture takes place Thursday evening, August 27, and examines the tension between stylish eccentrics and the artists who skewered them. A thoughtful option for anyone interested in fashion history, visual culture, or the peculiar relationship between clothes and commentary.
