Folk Couture: Fashion and Folk Art

Fashion has always found inspiration in unpredictable sources: art, life, history there are no boundaries. In this spirit, the American Folk Art Museum explores the relationship between inspiration and creation. Thirteen established and emerging designers have created original ensembles inspired by artwork in the museum's collection. This is the catalog for the exhibition Folk Couture: Fashion and Folk Art at the American Folk Art Museum, 2014. The exhibition catalog is sponsored by Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf and Elizabeth V. and Irwin H. Warren. By Alexis Carreño, with a foreword by Anne-Imelda Radice, PhD, and an introduction by Stacy C. Hollander. New York: American Folk Art Museum, 2014. 96 pages, fully illustrated, softcover, 8 x 10 in.
