Description
Historic-fashion maven Karen (Ren) Antonowicz will take visitors on a journey through the fashion history of the nation’s First Ladies in a presentation at New Haven Museum, “Fashion & the First Lady” on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 2 p.m.
From Martha Washington through to the 21st century, Antonowicz will offer a fascinating survey of some of the most iconic First Ladies’ fashions. Using slides and video clips, and clothing and accessories from her personal collection, Antonowicz will share her knowledge of the wives of American presidents through the centuries. From the very beginning, Antonowicz says, First Ladies have been watched, admired, copied, and sometimes criticized, for their style.
