Free Online Talk · Goths: An Origin Story, with Costume Historian Jessica Glasscock

FREE! Learn more and RSVP HERE

This Halloween season, join costume historian Jessica Glasscock for a history that starts with the conspicuous consumption of expensive black dye, wends through the bourgeois adoption of mourning spectacle and then barrels into the nightclubs of London and New York. From the fashionably haunted runways of Paris to a perennial place of pride at the disaffected table at a high school cafeteria near you, goth style is its own vein of fashion history.
