BTCOTC at The Association of Dress Historians Conference
We are delighted that our 'By The Cut of Their Cloth' (BTCOTC) project will be represented at the Association of Dress Historians (ADH) New Research Conference later this month.
Our Associate Creative Director, Warren Reilly, will be presenting on the topic of ‘Fashion as Memory’, drawing on his research for BTCOTC into the historical and personal memories behind bridal wear, and the emotions they provoke. Thanks to the support of the Pasold Research Fund, Warren will be attending the Zoom-Live hybrid conference in person.
