Tomorrow’s Fashion Films Ask What Clothes Say

Stories We Wear fashion-film poster with a mirrored figure in pink and purple fabric.

Stories We Wear asks what clothing communicates before anyone speaks. The Chicago History Museum program pairs international fashion films with conversation and an audience-participation exercise about identity, memory and personal expression.

Stories We Wear: Fashion as Visual Narrative
Where: Chicago History Museum, 1601 N. Clark St.
When: Sunday, November 1, noon–4 p.m.
Cost: $15; free for museum members and students
Details and tickets: Chicago History Museum

Filmmakers represented include Olivier Ronot, Victor Claramunt and Perry Curties. The afternoon lands somewhere between film festival, wardrobe archaeology and a very thoughtful reason to reconsider tomorrow’s outfit.
