Wintherthur Museum in Wilmington, Delaware presents Ann Lowe: American Couturier, a retrospective of this forgotten African American fashion designer. The curatorial team (Kim Collison and Alexandra Deutsch) worked with Elizabeth Way of the Museum at FIT to select garments for the exhibition, which were then sent to the conservation team at Winterthur. Katherine Sahmel and Heather Hansen meticulously stabilized and properly mounted each ensemble. Lowe famously designed Jacqueline Bouvier’s wedding dress (and the bridal parties') to her marriage to JFK.
Due to its value and condition, the dress is not allowed to be exhibited, and so the curators asked designer and UD professor Katya Roesle to recreate the wedding gown. She enlisted several students to help in the recreation process, during which they learned many of Lowe’s signature couture techniques and learned valuable insight into her skills as a designer, draftswoman, and seamstress. In this webinar, the designer and her student participant describe the recreation process of Jackie Kennedy’s dress. See behind the scenes at the design studio at UD and learn what they discovered about Ann Lowe, the research process, and more.
Host & Moderator: Graham Wetzbarger, CSA VP of Technology
Panels/Guests:
Katya Roesle (she/her), Instructor and Director of Design and Creative Marketing Certificate Program, University of Delaware
