Fashioning the Body - Bard Graduate Center

Having garnered high acclaim at the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris in 2013, the exhibition Fashioning the Body: An Intimate History of the Silhouette was on view at Bard Graduate Center from April to July 2015 and presented the many devices and materials that women and men have used to shape their silhouettes from the seventeenth century to today, including panniers, corsets, crinolines, bustles, stomach belts, girdles, and push-up brassieres, alongside examples of period garments that were molded by these distinctive understructures. The exhibition also looked at how lacing, hinges, straps, springs, and stretch fabrics have been used to alter natural body forms.
