Lecture: Gillian Vogelsang-Eastwood on Syrian Garments

At the end of the 19th century and into the early 20th century, Syrian culture was very diverse in terms of artistic achievement and material culture, and garments worn by wealthier Syrian men and women reflected their rich cosmopolitan lifestyle. Dr. Vogelsang-Eastwood explores economic, political, religious, and social impacts on clothing with an eye to the Fowler Museum’s current installation of garments from the David and Elizabeth Reisbord Collection. A book signing and reception in the Davis Courtyard will follow.
This event is co-presented by the Fowler Museum Textile Council and the Textile Museum Associates of Southern California.
