Fashion,
photography, and facts will come into focus at Rodman Public Library in March
and April.
Just in time for Women's History Month, the
Alliance Area Preservation Society will present "The Fashion of History," an
eight-week exhibit in the RPL gallery. The display, which is curated by
Chrystal Robinson-Shofroth, will open March 7 and run through April 30.
Sponsored by Mac's Attic and Pocket Change
Antiques, the innovative exhibit will feature
vintage and historic fashion and the places those styles may have been worn in
Alliance from the 1800s through the 1970s.
The exhibit will
include photographs of various fashions throughout the decades taken in the
Haines House and modeled by Jena Taylor, Jaclyn Picone, and
Amy McClure. It will also feature vintage clothing
and accessories on display as well as educational posters that list the basic
elements of fashion throughout each decade with tidbits of Alliance history
from the same time period and photos of Carnation City sites. Children's
fashion from each time period and vintage accessories will also be on display
in glass cases.
"The exhibit of encourages younger demographics to learn about the history of Alliance while they learn about fashion worn during the 1800s through the 1970s in varying locations or events around each time period in the area," explained Robinson-Shofroth, a member of the board of trustees for the Alliance Area Preservation Society.
