Hips from the Steel Magnolias collection

Steel Magnolias - Hips by Ginny Duncan
Hips from the Steel Magnolias collection
Artist Ginny Duncan
In Steel Magnolias, Ginny Duncan seeks to communicate the idea that being feminine and being a strong, capable individual is not mutually exclusive. She references women's clothing styles from various cultures and historical periods that previously hindered and constricted women. In her collection, Duncan reinvents these as ways to give more power to the feminine presence. The garments allow the wearer to be active, retaining references to utilitarian work clothes and decorative women's clothing.

More about RACK: An Experimental Fashion Event 2011

RACK presents bodies of work pushing the boundaries of fashion and costume with performance and sound. Participating artists explore the relationship between culture and the body through originally designed and constructed garments. The annual Experimental Fashion Event is a capstone for students in MICA’s experimental fashion concentration within the Fiber Department. Members of the Multi Media Event class work together for two semesters designing and crafting their own body of work, while working collaboratively to produce a live show. Students present their innovative fashion and costume designs through visually stunning live performances and projected video. The evening will involve more than 150 people—from designers to performers, roving costumed characters, and musicians.
