Freud and Fashion

Join Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, for an in-depth look at the impact of Dr. Sigmund Freud on the world of fashion.

Although dress and fashion appear only occasionally in the collected works of Sigmund Freud, his private letters reveal that he spent a great deal of time and money on well-tailored, Englishstyle suits. Freud’s personal appearance has also had an impact on the popular image of the psychoanalyst. His theories of sexuality and the unconscious have influenced artists and fashion designers such as Salvador Dali, Elsa Schiaparelli, and more recently John Galliano, whose “Freud or Fetish” collection is replete with polymorphous perversity.

This in-person program is presented by The National Arts Club.
