Child’s Play: A Children’s Fashion Story
February 19 – May 7, 2010
An opening reception with special guest Stephen Porterfield will take place at Fashion on Main Thursday, February 18 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
I designed custom wigs for this show, as well as a mini-exhibition at the University of North Texas, Union Art Gallery.
Children’s clothing today is abundant, and reflective of a variety of activities, emerging personalities and developmental milestones, while still being colorful, creative and fun. It is often such an attractive stage of life that it is not only the children’s fashions that are carried into adulthood. At what other point in life can one bring tulle, stripes, appliquéd jersey and polka dots together? Today many parents let their children choose their own outfits as they would let them color their own pictures. We have come a long way from the days of handmade clothing and children being dressed as miniature adults.
This exhibition will allow us to peek through the social, historical lens of the child through time beginning with the post Civil War, through The Great Depression, ending with the 1950s. Loans from the private collection of Stephen Porterfield, owner of the Cat’s Meow in Midland, Texas will be featured. Also, several girls’ party dresses and boys’ outfits from the Texas Fashion Collection are included. We will see how children’s clothing influenced the shaping and shifting fabrics, color palettes, eventually, casting off corsets and crinolines in the name of child’s play.
This exhibition was curated by Dawn Figueroa, TFC Collection Manager. Dawn joined the TFC staff in November of 2008. The TFC is part of the College of Visual Arts and Design at the University of North Texas.

Painting The Town: 1920's High Style
Painting the Town will run October 8 – December 18, 2009 at Fashion on Main at the Universities Center at Dallas.
This exhibition will feature several extravagantly beaded gowns from the 1920s along with some unusual fashions which have been rarely displayed, including chic women’s hostess ensembles, and never before seen photographs from New York fashion designer Regina Kobler. These original photographs, salvaged from a personal scrapbook, were recently shown to the Texas Fashion Collection by Dallas resident Inarose Bogen, age 83, who is the niece of Regina Kobler. Mrs. Bogen also saved three ensembles from Mrs. Kobler’s personal wardrobe which include two rare pantsuits from the 1920s. Additional research on Regina Kobler will be conducted in New York this summer by Myra Walker in the archives at the Fashion Institute of Technology and the New York Public Library. Inarose Bogen of Richardson and her sister, Sally Hardy of Oakland, CA will be in attendance to share their recollections about their favorite aunt.
The beaded gowns will include several dresses from the Texas Fashion Collection that have never been shown or rarely been out of storage, due to their fragility. The twenties flapper gown is a combination of luscious silk, satin, velvet that is covered in beads and sequins, which make each dress a unique work of art in its own right. These lovely evening gowns will make a fitting tribute to “going out in style” that will coincide with the opening of the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts in the Arts District this fall. Beaded dresses on loan from the Caralee Biery Smith private collection provide added sparkle to the exhibition. This exhibition will have great appeal to members of the Dallas community, bringing back memories of the past.
