Inspired Yet Pragmatic: An Exploration of Anne Bissonnette’s Creative Design Research
Presented by the Anne Lambert Clothing and Textile Collection
Have you ever worn your research? With degrees in Science, Fashion Design, Art History, Dress History and Museum Studies, Dr. Anne Bissonnette has gained multidisciplinary and embodied insights on clothes, her main area of expertise. Whether exploring the past or sustainable practices for a better future, she pushes boundaries of knowledge and offers practical solutions. This culminated in the 2024 Costume Society of America’s Betty Kirke Excellence in Research Award – a prize never before given to a juried creative design in the organization’s history and one that spurred this exhibition of her solo and collaborative work.
