Sew What? Why Fashion Matters

Experience Athens, Georgia’s lived history like never before. Join the Athens Historical Society and The Heritage Room at Athens-Clarke County Library for a special presentation on high fashion from the 1890s to early-1900s!

Vintage fashion connoisseur Eva Elarbee will present on the different pieces that make an 1890s silhouette. She will discuss the different layers that go into creating a historically accurate outfit! Photographs and fashion plates from the turn of the 20th-century will also be displayed!

The Athens Historical Society will be collecting gently used garments to be donated to Project Safe.

Join us on June 8th at 3:00pm!
