Debunking Myths about Women’s Fashion
Debunking Myths about Women’s Fashion
Madame SarahLord Byron
Most of us have seen videos or articles about how dangerous corsets were or how women died from fashion choices. Why are these so popular? During this panel, I hope to dismantle these myths about corsets and other garments as well as explore how our biases about women and their bodies keep these false stories alive.
Political cartoons made by men about women’s fashion are treated like facts. Satires written for the purpose of comedy are treated like news reports. What is the real history of women’s fashion and why are we obsessed with believing women don’t know what is right for their own bodies?
