Music and fashion have inspired each other through the ages, but how has that relationship aided in the preservation of culture and the development of identity? How have music and fashion worked in tandem as tools for resistance in systems of oppression? This dive into the intentional connections between sound and attire involves an exploration of Black dandyism and more. Panelists are Monica Miller, chair and professor of Africana studies at Barnard College, Columbia University; Lana Turner, historian and fashion icon; steel-pan player and composer Dr. Kendall Williams; and moderator Elizabeth Way, The Museum at FIT’s curator of costume and accessories. This event is organized in collaboration with the New York Philharmonic.
