A talk in the Fashion Culture programme at the city's fashion museum about the hidden history of the modern men's suit. Historian and costume designer Dr. Chloe Chapin traces how, two hundred and fifty years after the American Revolution, men adopted plain, dark, uniform suits to symbolize rationality and modernity, casting fashion as a superficial, feminine pursuit. Her book Suitable unpacks fundamental ideas about style, identity, and the architecture of power. A book signing follows.
