SUMMARY:2025 Spring Speaker Series | Posture\, Motion\, Poise: Fashion & Appearance
DESCRIPTION:Fashion is as much about the body as it is about clothes. The right garments\, made from the right materials and trimmings that were accessorized smartly\, had to be worn\, used\, and displayed in a manner that confirmed your status\, or else hid your attempts at aspiration. As a result\, restraint in how the body traveled in motion and posed at rest often became a determining factor in measuring one’s dressed appearance\, with disastrous (and sometimes humorous) consequences for those who failed. \nThis illustrated\, 40-minute talk takes the topic of deportment – how a person carried themselves and held their bodies – and applies it to fashionably dressed bodies of the 18th\, 19th\, and early 20th centuries. This period saw a proliferation of fashion goods produced\, and a growing media to sell them. Corresponding advice on correct deportment – including posture\, motion\, and poise – continued earlier advice that advocated for restraint and “an easy air.” \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nDavid E. (Ned) Lazaro is the Associate Curator of Costume and Textiles at The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford\, Connecticut. He holds a master’s degree in fashion and textile history from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. Ned has researched\, lectured\, published\, and taught on various aspects of Western clothing and textiles from the 17th through 20th centuries. His general interests focus on design history\, the aesthetics of fashion\, and identity formation. \n  \n\nAbout the 2025 Spring Speaker Series – Dressed to Impress \nJoin the Fairfield Museum for the Spring 2025 Speaker Series inspired by our new exhibition Dressed to Impress\, which will open on May 3\, 2025. Throughout the Spring 2025 Speaker Series\, costume experts and curators will unveil the fascinating stories behind the fashions of different time periods\, exploring how people dressed from high society to presidential looks to extravagant dress balls. \n  \nAdditional Lectures in the Series: \nFebruary 9 | Styles of the First Ladies | Susan J. Jerome \nApril 6 | What to Wear to the Fancy Dress Ball? | Karen DePauw \n  \nLight refreshments provided. Registration is required. $15 per talk | $45 for the series\, $40 for Members \n  \n\nTicketing Policy \n\nNo refunds will be given unless the program is cancelled by the Fairfield Museum.\nWe do not pro-rate fees for missed days of the series.
