Join us as we speak with Ann Braaten and Susan Curtis of the Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection at North Dakota State University (NDSU)!
Ann Braaten is an associate professor of practice in the Apparel, Retail Merchandising and Design program, teaching apparel design and construction, fashion history, and cultural dress. She is the curator of the Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection at NDSU, an archive of over 5,000 clothing and textiles items that reflect the history of the region and the history of fashion and international dress. She is also an affiliate faculty member of the Women and Gender Studies program at NDSU. She uses historic dress and textiles to illustrate and examine women’s roles and contributions to fashion, business, and policies relating to gender equity.
Susan Curtis has been the collections manager for the Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection at NDSU since 2013. She received her MA in Museum Studies with a minor in Textiles, Clothing and Design from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is currently pursuing her PhD in History with a focus on women’s hand embroidery in the northern Great Plains. She is curating an exhibition that will open in March 2024 titled "The Needle’s Art: Embroidered Treasures from the Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection" that will explore the breadth of the collection’s holdings of embroidered clothing, textiles, and accessories that date from the 1700s to the present.
