Dr. Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) will give a free lecture, ‘Sex and Shoes,’ in Drexel University's Ruth Auditorium on November 18th at 6 PM.
The free lecture is part of the Rest Your Feet exhibition.
The Washington Post described Dr. Steele as “fashion’s brainiest woman.” She has authored 17 books including The Black Dress, Paris Fashion and most recently Gothic: Dark Glamour.
In 1997, she founded Fashion Theory: The Journal of Dress, Body & Culture and today serves as editor-in-chief.
The exhibit explores the history, evolution and role of shoes and chairs as practical objects and as objects of high design.
The exhibit is the result of collaboration between programs at Drexel University and FIT.
Rest Your Feet is on display at the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery through December 12th.
