Einav Rabinovitch-Fox to Present at Fashion: Now & Then

The Battle of the Skirts - Women's Agency in Determining Dress Styles - The Late 1920s as a case study will be presented by Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, New York University on Friday, October 19, 2012 in one of the sessions at Fashion: Now and Then at LIM College.

Einav is a PhD student at the history department in New York University. Her dissertation, “This is What a Feminist Looks Like: The Construction of the New Woman Imagery through Fashion and the Political Culture of American Feminism 1890-1940,” examines the ways in which women employed dress styles in negotiating and constructing gendered political identities, as well as in advancing feminist agendas during the early decades of the twentieth century. Her project examines the intersections between feminism and fashion, claiming that the two are inherently connected, not opposing each other. She won the 2012-2013 Winterthur Library and Museum Research Fellowship and the 2012-2013 Schlesinger Library Dissertation Grant, as well as research grants from New York University.

On Friday, October 19th and Saturday, October 20th professionals from the fashion industry, libraries, archives, academic institutions, publishers, and museums will gather at LIM College for Fashion: Now & Then, a conference on the past, present, and future uses of fashion information that will consist of lectures and panel discussions.

"Beyond the Bun: Style Perceptions of Library Workers" by Nicole Pagowsky

Nicole Pagowsky is an Instructional Services Librarian at the University of Arizona. She created Librarian Wardrobe in 2010, a mostly user-generated blog to serve as a catalog of how information professionals dress for work. Nicole is interested in user experience and visual perceptions of information workers, which is explored through interviews and other mediated posts. With a variety of stereotypes floating around about librarians, whether it is buns and shushing or tattoos and social clubs, the blog hopes to dispel these assumptions and question whether they even matter. Nicole developed a program on style, stereotypes, and perceptions for a packed room at the American Library Association 2012 Annual Conference; and participated in a panel on developing a niche through Librarian Wardrobe, within communities of librarians. Nicole’s presentation will focus on internal and external perceptions of library workers and how content from Librarian Wardrobe is used by both information professionals and the public.

On Friday, October 19th and Saturday, October 20th professionals from the fashion industry, libraries, archives, academic institutions, publishers, and museums will gather at LIM College for Fashion: Now & Then, a conference on the past, present, and future uses of fashion information that will consist of lectures and panel discussions.
