Black Fashion, A Year In Review

Welcome to another episode of Unravel. Today we will be discussing our thoughts about the work scholars have done in illuminating black fashion history this year. We will be highlighting who they are and their work. This episode was inspired by all the wonderful events we were invited to about this topic throughout 2017. We want to share what we learned, but also talk about the future of this subject and its importance. In the episode we discuss the following events: Fashioning the Black Body in Bondage and Freedom at The Weeksville Heritage Center Black Fashion Designers Symposium at The Museum at FIT Fashion & Justice Image: Detail of the Museum at FIT's Black Fashion Designers exhibit, Bruce Oldfield, spring 2013.  Links:  Links:  Jonathan Michael Square & Fashioning the Self: https://www.facebook.com/fashioningtheself/  Kim Jenkins: http://www.kimberlymjenkins.com/  Fashion & Justice: https://nylon.com/articles/jonathan-square-kimberly-jenkins-fashion-and-justice-panel Upcoming Fashion & Justice Event:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1933817246883470/  Museum at FIT: http://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/black-fashion-designers.php Weeksville Heritage Center: http://www.weeksvillesociety.org/ Follow us on: Website: www.unravelpodcast.com Instagram: @unravelpodcast Twitter: @unravelpodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/unravelpodcast/ Pinterest: unravel: a fashion podcast www.pinterest.com/afashionpodcast/ Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/unravel-podcast  In the mood for giving our GoFundMe is still open: www.gofundme.com/csaunravel2017
