Repost from visualsustenance - I posted a few weeks ago about the Claire McCardell statue by sarahhi that was just unveiled in Frederick, Maryland, the designers hometown. I wrote about the unveiling and McCardell for bmoreart. This will be old hat to those of y’all who are already well-versed in all things McCardell, but for anyone looking for a little primmer on the designer who is truly having a bit of a moment right now, this is for you. The big news is that mdhistory will be opening a show on the designer in October 2022!!! Come visit us in Baltimore next fall!! Big thanks to historicallie who gave me some fabulous images from the MCHC‘s collection to use with this piece and to slidingdice who is a kind and patient editor! Link is in my bio, I have a fancy linktree and everything now! #clairemccardell #marylandhistory #modernwoman #midcenturymodern #midcenturystyle #midcenturyfashion #mccardellisms
