It\u2019s time for an update from the Vassar College Costume Collection! <\/p>\n

You last heard from me right around our exhibition, \u201cA Glimpse into Vassar\u2019s (Secret) Closet.\u201d So what has happened since then?<\/p>\n

When the objects were mounted for the exhibition last spring, I was able to work with Charlie Pane \u201810 to carefully photograph each full costume. Not only did we get high quality full length views of each piece, but each was placed on a turntable and rotated, with a photo taken of each different view. Charlie then worked with these photos to create a QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) file, which allows the viewer to rotate the object and better understand it as if in 3D. Stay tuned for more news about when and where these will be made available online. <\/p>\n

Other than that, we haven\u2019t had too much time to work with the collection this fall. Vassar\u2019s new costume designer, Kenisha Kelly, is doing a wonderful job of helping us to recover from the blow of Holly Hummel\u2019s retirement last spring, but we still are very busy with the productions in the Drama Department, and haven\u2019t had much time for research or conservation projects. <\/p>\n

But we\u2019ll be sure to make time in the spring! \u201cGlimpse\u201d was such a success that we\u2019re moving forward with another exhibition, from mid-May to mid-June in 2011 (probably 5\/13 \u2013 6\/15), in the Palmer Gallery in the College Center (same as last year). This will be a part of Vassar\u2019s Sesquicentennial Celebration (150th anniversary), and we will feature clothes that relate to Vassar\u2019s history and to the history of women\u2019s education. We\u2019ll be working on this throughout the spring, so we\u2019ll keep you posted as more details arise.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
