Immigrants, Innovators, and Icons: Jewish Americans and the Fashion Industry

From pioneering retailer Carrie Marcus Neiman to custom dressmaker Lilli Wolff, Jewish Americans have made their mark on the fashion industry, and particularly so in Dallas. Annette Becker, curator and director of the UNT Texas Fashion Collection, joins us to share stories of Jewish change-makers in twentieth-century dress history, highlighting artifacts from the TFC.

This program is presented in conjunction with our current special exhibition, Walk this Way: Footwear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes.
