Sculpture & Drapery: The Art of Fashion

Architecture versus fluidity in the artistic creation of fashion is the theme of the new exhibition that opened on January 22, 2005, at the Historic Costume & Textiles Collection located in the College of Human Ecology at The Ohio State University. Co-sponsored by the Columbus Museum of Art and supported by a grant from the Ohio Arts Council, Sculpture and Drapery: The Art of Fashion displays rare works by the designers Charles James and Charles Kleibacker, whose artistic visions led them to use the same medium, fabric, in different processes to create contrasting works of art.
