Join us for the opening event of Power & Pomp: Fashion History Month at the Library Company and the unveiling of a small exhibit in our Logan Room. Jade Papa, costume historian and curator at the Textile and Costume Collection, will present on the history of women’s roles in Philadelphia’s textile industries in the 19th century. Following this historical context, Emily Radomski, third-year Textile Design student and collection intern at the Textile and Costume Collection, will present tools from the collection that were actually used by some of these textile workers and explain their functions.
In collaboration with the Textile and Costume Collection at Thomas Jefferson University
