Description
From baptism to burial and every milestone in between, some of life’s most meaningful moments are marked by what we wear. The LSU Textile and Costume Museum (TCM) includes a remarkable collection of nearly 10,000 artifacts, from prehistoric textile fragments to contemporary fashion. In this talk, TCM Curator Michael E. Mamp, PhD, will highlight selections from the collection—including christening gowns, a liturgical vestment, and wedding dresses—to explore how clothing expresses faith, love, identity, and tradition. Rich visuals and stories of each object’s journey will reveal the often-surprising histories and deep personal meanings stitched into every garment. Admission for this session is free and open to the public and registration is not required.
