Colloquium | Dr. Sonya Abrego “Denim, Smartphone Fade, and the Markings of Contemporary Labor”

Dr. Sonya Abrego at The Museum at FIT's Fashion Unraveled Colloquium, held on Saturday, September 29, 2018.

Inspired by the MFIT exhibition Fashion Unraveled and organized by MFIT and the Fashion Research Network, this one-day colloquium explored the concepts of memory, wear, and imperfection in fashion. Speakers focused on imperfect garments and the significance of dressing as a habitual, intimate, and ephemeral act.

Sonya Abrego holds a PhD from the Bard Graduate Center, is a visiting assistant professor at the Pratt Institute, Parsons: The New School for Design, and is in the school of graduate studies at FIT. Her research interests include 20th-century fashion, design, history, film, and material culture. Sonya is presently working on a book about Westernwear in postwar America.
