Description
Paper as fashion traces its origins to a 1966 marketing campaign by the Scott Paper Company, which designed disposable paper dresses to promote their core product. While short lived, the paper craftwork represented a new frontier in nonwoven textiles. This exhibit includes rare garments, accessories and textiles that showcase the partnership between craft and business in fashion.
