The Lehigh Valley Arts Council is pleased to present "Curating Fashion" with G. Bruce Boyer, the first event in its 2014 Arts Alive Series. The discussion will be held at Moravian College’s Payne Gallery on January 18th, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m.
The event features noted men's fashion writer and editor G. Bruce Boyer, who will speak about his career in fashion and his upcoming exhibition, Elegance in an Age of Crisis: Fashions of the 1930’s, at the Museum at The Fashion Institute of Technology.
G. Bruce Boyer has lived most of his life in Bethlehem, having graduated from Moravian College and attended Lehigh University's gradute program.
“The Lehigh Valley is fortunate to be home to so many artists whose work is respected around the world,” says Arts Council executive director Randall Forte.
For more than thirty-five years, Boyer has been a dynamo in the fashion media; internationally recognized for his featured articles in The New Yorker, Town and Country, L'Uomo Vogue among many others. He has written several books on fashion history and has also appeared on national TV, National Public Radio, and as a commentator on the TV documentary series, The Hollywood Fashion Machine.
His current exhibition, Elegance in an Age of Crisis, February 8 to April 19, 2014, was organized by Patricia Mears, deputy director at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and co-curated by Boyer. The best of both men’s and women’s fashion from the 1930’s are represented among the eighty outfits and thirty accessories from the finest dressmakers and men’s clothiers.
