Hello all,========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:
We are planning an exhibit of up to 20 full and partial outfits of clothing from the late 1960s and early 1970s Counterculture in 2012, and I need advice from my colleagues as to the best way to display them. I’ve seen commercial mannequins used (the type used in retail settings), and they strike me as a bit creepy and not quite right. We are prepared for the possibility that we will have to create our own forms, but where is the best information about how to do that? Are there sources — either museums or businesses — that we may borrow or rent appropriate forms from? Is there anyone near us (Bethel, NY, at the southern edge of the Catskills) who may be available to consult with us? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wade
