Real Clothes, Real Lives // Curator Confidential

Recorded: October 10, 2024
Curators Anna Danziger Halperin and Keren Ben-Horin discuss the exhibition "Real Clothes, Real Lives: 200 Years of What Women Wore, the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection" on view September 27, 2024 - June 22, 2025.
The groundbreaking exhibition examines the everyday clothing of ordinary women, from hard-worn house dresses to psychedelic micro minis and modern suits to fast-food workers’ uniforms. Showcasing items from the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection that will be on view in a museum for the first time, this exhibition traces how women’s roles have changed and evolved dramatically over the decades across the spectrum of race and class.
