    In conjunction with PIFA- Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts- the exhibition Brave New World: Fashion and Freedom, 1911-1919 will be at the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery at Drexel University from April 7 to May 7 2011. This one of a kind exhibition will focus on the tumultuous years between 1911 through 1919; a period when the interplay between the fine arts and fashion was particularly strong. During this pivotal decade fashion changed dramatically and adventurous style-leaders cut their hair, abandoned their corsets and adopted shorter skirts. On Thursday, April 14th at 6 p.m. Drexel will welcome speaker Rebecca Jumper Matheson, fashion historian and a faculty member in the History of Art department at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Matheson’s lecture “Beyond Romanticism: The Art, Commerce, and Modernity of Lucile” will focus on the couturière Lucile (Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon, 1863-1935).
