In this installment of the Conversations on Dress Oral Histories Series, Abby Lillethun, CSA Fellow Class of 2023, is interviewed by Linda Welters, CSA Fellow Class of 2004.
Abby Lillethun is a Professor at Montclair State University, where her teaching and scholarship center on the study of culture as it is created, experienced, and reconfigured through dress and appearance. She also serves as the Deputy Chairperson of the Department of Art and Design. Lillethun teaches fashion history & culture courses and beyond, while her scholarship is global in scope; she researches Bronze Age Aegean dress using experimental archeology techniques to recreate dress objects, and investigates the nexus of East Asian and Western design between 1885 and 1935. Lillethun is a member of The Research Collective for Decoloniality and Fashion (RCDF+), and her scholarship incorporates decolonial theoretical perspectives in investigating historical design processes with cognizance of the processes of contact and trade.
