His and Hers May 10, 2011

'His and Hers' explores the relationship between gender and fashion over the past 250 years. Clothing can act as an immediate signifier of gender. However, while making distinctions between "masculine" and "feminine" styles of clothing may seem natural, gendering is not a biological phenomenon. While much of the show discusses the changing ideas of "appropriate" attire for each gender, it also includes examples of so-called unisex and androgynous fashion. This exhibition is curated by Colleen Hill and Jennifer Farley.
