The Museum at FIT’s 36th symposium is planned in conjunction with the exhibition “Doll Dressing.” Extending well beyond the realm of childhood play, fashion dolls have not merely worn the latest trends, but set them. Doll-inspired looks communicate personal style, fantasy, and identity. Speakers include film director Lagueria Davis, fashion designer Jason Wu, fashion critic Lynn Yaeger, and others. Event: Doll Dressing Symposium 📅 Friday, November 13, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm 🎟️ Register for free via the Calendar of Events link in @MuseumAtFIT bio. @fitnyc @colleen_hill_fashion @lagueriadavis @jasonwu @babylynnieland 01 Jan 1970 Two hundred and fifty years after the American Revolution, historian and costume designer Dr. Chloe Chapin traces the evolution of modern men’s suits to answer big questions about fashion. When men adopted plain, dark, uniform suits to symbolize rationality and modernity, they simultaneously cast “fashion” as a superficial, feminine pursuit. “Suitable” unpacks this hidden history to explore fundamental ideas about style, identity, and the architecture of power. A book signing will follow.

Curated by Dr. Colleen Hill, senior curator of costume, the exhibition explores the ways in which dolls have influenced fashion and dressed appearance. Doll dressing takes many forms, ranging from the appeal of youthful baby doll dresses, to the 2D quality of "paper doll" looks, to the influence of creepy dolls on fashion.

Doll Dressing Symposium features fashion curator Patricia Mears speaking on “The Gratitude Train Couture Fashion Dolls of the 20th Century.” Her lecture reflects the heart of the symposium: that fashion dolls go far beyond childhood play. They haven’t just worn the latest trends, they’ve set them, communicating personal style, fantasy, and identity. With four decades of experience specializing in modern couture, American and Japanese avant garde ready-to-wear, and fashion’s intersection with ballet and interiors, Mears joins our lineup of distinguished speakers on Friday, November 13th. She will be joined by film director Lagueria Davis @lagueriadavis, fashion designer Jason Wu @jasonwu, fashion critic Lynn Yaeger @babylynnieland, and more. @fitnyc @colleen_hill_fashion @FashionQueerHistorian Event: Doll Dressing Symposium Date: Friday, November 13, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm You’ll find the day’s line-up on our website.

I have over 25 dolls in Girl Scout uniforms from different time periods, but my favorite is Claudie in a replica 1930s uniform made out of an actual vintage uniform! I enjoy thrifting, making, and commissioning these uniforms, and especially loved creating the miniature accessories, like Claudie's canteen. The American Girls Collection encompasses dolls from various eras of American history with period-accurate clothing and accessories, as well as middle-grade books detailing the doll characters’ lives. I enjoy crafting, reading, live theater, and visiting historic house museums; all of which I can trace back to the influence of American Girl. I recently had an essay about the connections between American Girl dolls and Girl Scouts in An American Girl Anthology from the University Press of Mississippi. As a Millennial and Girl Scout alum who pursued art education and ended up working with public history and material culture in museums, I understand that sharing history through storytelling is a compelling learning method that can inspire people to honor the past while serving the future. American Girl characters help children connect to something larger than themselves through history.” – Janine Napierkowski @j9beth Head over to Tumblr to read more #WeLoveDolls stories.

Event: Doll Dressing Symposium Date: Friday, November 13, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm @fitnyc @elizaruw @colleen_hill_fashion @lagueriadavis Fashion Culture Fall 2026 is made possible with the support of the Couture Council of The Museum at FIT. 05 Nov 2026 “Doll Dressing” is a groundbreaking exhibition that centers on the cultural interplay between dolls and dressed appearance in the 20th and 21st centuries. It poses a compelling and previously overlooked question: How have dolls influenced fashion? Featuring more than 170 objects — including fashion dolls displayed alongside full-size garments, accessories, videos, and artworks — the exhibition highlights how the influence of dolls extends far beyond childhood play. Curated by Dr. Colleen Hill, senior curator of costume at MFIT, “Doll Dressing” features designers and labels including Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Marc Jacobs, Patrick Kelly, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Moschino, Anna Sui, and Undercover, ultimately showing how dolls aren't just toys — they're muses, canvases, and even prototypes for designers. And ultimately, the exhibition reveals that doll dressing can be both expressive and subversive, offering a means of exploring identity, fantasy, and personal style. On view through January 3, 2027 Don’t forget to use the hashtag #DollDressing when you come see the exhibition. Link in Bio! Check out the story highlight above! ☝️ #MuseumAtFIT #FashionExhibition #FashionDesign @colleen_hill_fashion @fitnyc Simone Rocha doll by @brifosterdolls Photograph by @seanfosterphoto 01 Jan 1970 A shared love of dolls and fashion often intertwine to make beautiful pieces, just like this old Hollywood-inspired doll made by the artist Sarah Burford from Bristol, UK, who goes by Curious Pip! The story can be read in full on Tumblr with additional #WeLoveDolls stories. Link to #WeLoveDollsMFIT in @MuseumatFIT bio. @curiouspip @fitnyc Under the name Curious Pip, I have been creating art dolls for the past 15 years. My love of both dolls and fashion began in childhood, using the offcuts from my grandma's sewing projects to make clothes for my Sindy dolls. Inspired by the elegant women I saw in old Hollywood films, I would design tiny outfits and imagine the stories behind them. I have always been fascinated by clothing and the history of fashion, and channeling that lifelong passion into my handmade dolls is endlessly rewarding. I’m always drawn to giving my characters a miniature companion or accessory — whether that's a handbag, a book, or a beloved pet. In this case, it's an enormous and very friendly pink spider, perfectly matched to her outfit. 03 Nov 2026 A witch. A sorceress. A clown. A magician. Will you spark a spellbinding thrill or unleash a circus chill? Happy Halloween! 👻🦇👽🎃🧙🧟‍♀️ [Public domain image.] 01 Jan 1970 Monster High’s “Frankie Stein" got a makeover just in time for Halloween! #WeLoveDollsMFIT “I was never really into Barbies when I was young but when I got much older, and these Monster High dolls came out, I became obsessed with them!! I bought “Frankie Stein" but I felt like she needed a PUREVILE! make-over (PUREVILE! is my accessories and clothing company,) so I made her a fishnet bodysuit with an asymmetric jacket decorated with a huge ruffled shoulder, vintage doll’s eye, a piece of a rosary, and some Victorian jet beading. I cut her hair into V-bangs and tied it up with a real animal bone. Then a couple weeks later I found this amazing wooden coffin lined in velvet at the flea market and thought, okay, this is where she’s going to live now!” – Wren Britton @purevile Head over to Tumblr to read more #WeLoveDolls stories.

Dark colors replace pastels, and fabrics appear tattered and torn. Typical Goth motifs such as skulls, bats, and spiderwebs embellish the designs.
