This exhibition celebrates the intersection of fashion and contemporary art. On view will be 101+ examples of dresses in all media, by a mix of local and national visual artists, in addition to the work of fashion designers and collectors. The exhibition takes its inspiration from Eleanor Estes’ 1944 classic Newbery award-winning children’s book, The Hundred Dresses. Eleanor Estes lived and worked as a public librarian in New Haven, and many of the book’s illustrations are of local streets.
