Fête the latest SCAD FASH exhibition at this members-only prelude to Entering Modernity: 1920s Fashion from the Parodi Costume Collection.

The dawn of modernity in fashion after the turn of the 20th century is a story of the quest to represent a new sense of self. In Entering Modernity, curated exclusively from the Parodi Costume Collection, viewers are immersed in works by era-defining designers such as Paul Poiret, Madeleine Vionnet, Jeanne Lanvin, and Jean Patou, who embodied the decade’s ethos of experimentation and convention-defying artistry.

Shimmy into the galleries in your best 1920s-inspired looks. Then delve into the decade’s sartorial transformation and contemporary efforts to preserve fashion history in an exclusive conversation with SCAD professor Sarah Collins and Gonzalo Parodi, director of the Parodi Costume Collection in Miami.

This event is free and open exclusively to SCAD FASH members. Become a member.
