She will share how fashion innovator Claire McCardell popularized comfort and practicality in women’s wear with zippers\, pockets\, ballet flats\, and more. McCardell’s work reinvented American sportswear and set women free from the severe\, hyper-feminized silhouette championed by male designers after World War II. \nElizabeth Evitts Dickinson’s work has been published in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Harper’s\, The Washington Post Magazine\, and many other publications. She has recently talked about McCardell at New York’s Jewish Museum\, the Maryland Center for History and Culture\, and The New York Historical. Her new book\, Claire McCardell: The Designer Who Set Women Free\, is getting rave reviews from all around: \nClaire McCardell revolutionized the way we dress; everything was intentional\, nothing was frivolous\, and comfort was as vital as glamour. This book captures her remarkable ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit\, and it offers a new\, intimate glimpse into the experiences\, people\, and places that shaped her perspective. \n—Tory Burch \nIn the hands of Dickinson\, this is more than just the biography of a fashion revolutionary: It is a story of the fight for women’s identity and\, incidentally\, the birth of an American industry. \n—The New York Times \nSigning to follow with copies available to purchase from Scuppernong Books. \nFree. This program has reached capacity\, and we are no longer taking reservations. \n\n This program is in partnership with UNC Greensboro Consumer\, Apparel\, and Retail Studies \n  \n\nAbout the Endowment\nRuth Perkins Wicker created the John Floy Wicker Endowment Fund in memory of her husband in 1995.
