Event of the Week 9.28.11! Fashion Exhibits
Five Must-See Fashion Exhibits!
Here is something to enrich your knowledge of fashion that is entertaining, educational and beneficial for you as students! You may run into someone in the fashion industry or you may run into some fellow classmates, either way.. ITS SOMETHING TO CHECK OUT!
“Daphne Guinness”
Indulge your voyeuristic tendencies at this exhibit, which lets visitors peek into the closet of the British beer heiress. Museum at FIT curator Valerie Steele collaborated with Guinness to select more than 100 pieces from the fashion plate’s private collection, with items from designers such as Alexander McQueen, Chanel and Gareth Pugh on display. Some of the smallest items make the largest impression, such as a pair of red Nina Ricci pumps that are 11 inches high—but have no real heel.
See it now!
“Fiber Futures: Japan’s Textile Pioneers”
High-tech fabrics showcase the diversity of textile design in this exhibit, featuring work by 30 artists. The sculptural pieces incorporate both delicate and sturdy materials, including silk, cotton, paper and even delicate strands of stainless steel. Although the pieces stand alone as art, many of the innovations presented have practical applications: for example, Jun’ichi Arai’s super-thin synthetic materials have been used in clothes by Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto.

Interview: SGA VICE PRESIDENT!
Get to know LIM College's VICE PRESIDENT Kaleigh Connors. Shes fun, smart and always looks her best!
- Nickname: People always have a difficult time saying my name for some reason; so most people just call me “Kale.”
- Where are you originally from? I am originally from Holmdel, New Jersey and no one in my town tans, fist pumps, or GTLs.
Major, year: I am a Visual Merchandising Major and am in my junior year.
- Favorite designer: SOCIETY OF LES is my favorite the line; Susan Siegel is the designer for the brand line. SOCIETY OF LES is a contemporary line of luxury knit tees and tops. I currently intern for her the designer and it has been the best experience. Susan has been such a great mentor to me and has taught me so much, I couldn’t be luckier.
- Favorite accessory: I LOVE accessories! My favorite accessory is bracelets, I collect them. Every time I go somewhere or something big happens in my life I buy a bracelet to remember that time. I wear as many bracelets as possible I love to layer them! I am also a big fan of scarves, layering necklaces, and sunglasses.
- Shopping tip/secret: My shopping tip is to also check out the sale rack! Also, I only make a purchase if I am totally in love with the item and I never buy anything just because everyone else has it.
- Why you love Lim College? I love LIM because it is my home away from home! I feel so comfortable here and love the intimate environment. I truly believe that LIM has and will continue to help me succeed with my career in fashion.
- How has sag helped you/inspired/changed/affected your life, you, your time, your experience -how do you market yourself online? I.e. Facebook, twitter, linked in, blogs, internship blog? SGA has really helped me open up and become more involved within the LIM community. I have met so many people through being involved in SGA and have been able to experience so many things. I try to truly represent myself properly on Facebook and Twitter. It is very important to brand yourself properly through social media outlets. On Facebook I don’t like to have any inappropriate pictures or have any crude posts. Twitter is my outlet to be funny and post things that are currently on my mind.
“I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet.”
