From time to time I’m asked to share exciting fashion events happening in my hometown area, the Lehigh Valley, PA. I’m happy to do that again today. Please take a minute to review the email announcement I received from the Lehigh Valley Arts Council about the upcoming speaking engagement “Curating Fashion” by fashion writer G. Bruce Boyer. I encourage all fashion fans and students to attend this event. There is so much to learn and when opportunities knock in your area, you should definitely take part. ~Cori/LadyBowTie

This is James from the Lehigh Valley Arts Council. I am sending you this email to invite you to attend and spread the word about our upcoming event, Curating Fashion, featuring noted men’s fashion writer, editor and curator G. Bruce Boyer on January 18, 2014 at Moravian College’s Payne Gallery from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Boyer will speak about his career in fashion and his upcoming exhibition, Elegance in an Age of Crisis: Fashions of the 1930’s, at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC.
Boyer is a long time resident of the Lehigh Valley, having graduated from Moravian College and attended Lehigh University’s graduate program. For more than thirty-five years, he has been a dynamo in the fashion media, internationally recognized for his featured articles in The New Yorker, Town and Country, L’Uomo Vogue among many others. He has written several books on fashion history and has also appeared on national TV and NPR. Elegance in an Age of Crisis runs February 8 to April 19, 2014, and showcases eighty outfits and thirty accessories from the finest dressmakers and men’s clothiers of the era.
We really hope that you will be able to attend and that you will help us
