Combine the study of fashion and textile history with hands-on training in the conservation, storage, and display of costumes and textiles. Students engage in rigorous historical research based on primary sources and will learn how to identify fibers and weaves, the best practices for handling and storing costumes and textiles, and how to mount textiles and dress mannequins. Students also study collections management and exhibition planning and design and apply these skills in a required internship. This program allows students to work with one another to plan and implement an exhibition in The Museum at FIT. With your help, students can continue to discover in this fascinating and sustainable field.
