Description: Who among us hasn't wondered at one time or another about the lengths some people go in order to be fashionable? John Garton's Clark University art history seminar has taken the Museum's collection to guide us through depictions of female fashion from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, probing the psychological and physiological dimensions of binding fashion (the corset) in the lives of women through paintings in the Museum's collections.
