"Chords & Threads" Opens This Week

The exhibit “Chords & Threads: Rhythm - Movement - Style” opens in the Stephens College Historic Costume Gallery, mezzanine level of Lela Raney Wood Hall, on Saturday, Jan. 23 from 12-3 p.m., with a special "sneak peek" available to Stephens faculty and staff this Friday.

From the Cake Walk to Hip Hop, fashion, music and dance have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship. The exhibit invites you to visualize sound through the prints, fringes, and silhouettes of fashionable dress in the 20th century.

Gallery visitors will be prompted to watch specific video clips on portable video players that coincide with several garments and accessories. For instance, the red leather suit pictured above (circa 1985) can be viewed while watching a video clip of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller."
