Alison Moloney interviews her fellow fashion curators about the first garment audiences encounter at the start of an exhibition. Through a close reading of this initial object, the curators discuss the theme of the show and how the garment was selected. Like the opening sentence of a book, the first object sets the scene for the narrative to unfold. The series is supported by the Centre for Fashion Curation, UAL, at London College of Fashion where Alison Moloney is an Associate Member. It is produced by Clare Lynch.

The Vulgar: Barbican Art Gallery

Alison Moloney and Judith Clark discuss The Vulgar: Fashion Redefined which explored ideas around fashion and taste. Devised, curated and designed by Judith, this conversation is centred on the two objects which opened the show - a chasuble fragment (1480-1500) and an Elsa Schiaparelli evening ensemble (c.1937). The exhibition was first staged at the Barbican Art Gallery in 2017 (it toured to the Winterpalais in Vienna, Austria and Modemuseum in Hasselt, Belgium) and was co-curated with psychoanalyst Adam Phillips. Judith is Professor of Fashion and Museology at London College of Fashion, where in 2013 she co-founded the Centre for Fashion Curation.
