Dressed: The History of Fashion
Arts:Fashion & Beauty
No longer the household name she was during her own time, Dorothy Liebes has been recognized as "one of the greatest designers of the 20th century." Her modernist textile designs were embraced by interior designers and architects including Frank Lloyd Wright and fashion designers such as her dear friend Bonnie Cashin. This week fashion and textile historian Leigh Wishner joins us to talk about Liebes' incredibly influential career and the exhibition A Dark, A Light, A Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes now on view at the Cooper Hewitt in New York City through February 4, 2024.
