President’s MessageDear Southeastern CSA Members: Welcome to our Fall 2011 newsletter and thanks again to Katherine Hill Winters for all her hard work putting it together and keeping us informed of all the events in our region. It was wonderful seeing so many of you at our 2011 Southeastern region symposium and annual meeting, Tis a gift to be simple: Celebrating the Sewn Arts. The meeting was held at the wonderful Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill near Harrodsburg, Kentucky.

If you missed the meetings make sure to make time in the future for a visit to this fantastic place. We enjoyed our visits to the historic buildings, including tours of the Shaker textile exhibits and the storage room for museum objects. Other highlights of the meeting included our visit and reception at Ashland: The Henry Clay Estate and the adventure of going on a River Boat Cruise of the Kentucky River in the middle of a storm! Of course, the heart of our meeting is always the research presentations and, as always, we had a number of high quality papers. The meeting was a success thanks to Kim Miller- Spillman’s leadership and her team, including Diane Leggett, Adam MacPharlain and Janea Whitacre. Our regional meeting for 2012 will be framed within the events of the 2012 national symposium in Atlanta, but we are still looking for a location for our 2013 regional meeting, so please volun-teer to host us if you can. I also want to send a big thank you to the candidates who agreed to run for a position on our board and to everyone else for casting your votes in the recent election. Congratulations to new board members: Cathy Dean, Jenna Kuttruff and Newbie Richardson. I wish to acknowledge Colleen Callahan, Janene Charbeneau and Linda Arnette for their assistance with the election. Plans for the National Meeting and Symposium in Atlanta are on their way. I am honored to be one of the co-chairs along Patti Hunt-Hurst but we have received a lot of help from Jenna Kuttruff our Abstract Admin-istrator and Susan Neill our Atlanta Liaison. It is still a long road and we will need a lot of help in the months ahead. If you are interested in helping with any aspect of the Symposium please do contact me ([email protected]) or Patti ([email protected]). That’s it for now … see you soon, in Atlanta, if not before!

News about the upcoming Symposium


Andrew Bolton Announced as Keynote Speaker for Atlanta — The Costume Institute Curator Will Share Thoughts on McQueen

By José Blanco F. and Patricia Hunt-Hurst, Co-Coordi-nators, CSA National Symposium 2012, Atlanta

Andrew Bolton, Curator of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum will be delivering the keynote address at this year’s symposium in Atlanta. His visually-stunning exhibitions include Dangerous Liaisons: Fash-ion and Furniture in the 18th Century (2004), Chanel (2005), AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion (2006), Poiret: King of Fashion (2007), Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy (2008), American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity (2010).

He will speak about his 2011 exhibition, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. The exhibition celebrated the late Alexander McQueen’s ATL Global Gateway Dress Scholarship In the 21st Century CSA 38th National Meeting & Symposium 2012 May 31st - June 2, Atlanta Georgia extraordinary contributions to fashion. From his Central Saint Martins postgraduate collection of 1992 to his final runway presentation, which took place after his death in February 2010, Mr. McQueen challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond utility to a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity. His iconic designs constitute the work of an artist whose medium of expression was fashion.

The exhibition featured approximately one hundred ensembles and seventy accessories from Mr. McQueen’s prolific nineteen-year career. Drawn primarily from the Alexander McQueen Archive in London, with some piec-es from the Givenchy Archive in Paris as well as private collections, signature designs including the “bumster” trouser, the kimono jacket, and the three-point “origami” frock coat were on view. McQueen’s fashions often ref-erenced the exaggerated silhouettes of the 1860s, 1880s, 1890s, and 1950s, but his technical ingenuity always im-bued his designs with an innovative sensibility that kept him at the vanguard.

Louisiana State Museum Capitol Park660 N. Fourth StreetBaton Rouge, LA

Mignon Faget: A Life in Art and DesignNovember 18 – February 25, 2012

A major exhibition celebrating the life and work of noted Louisiana

artist and jewelry designer Mignon Faget is opening at the Louisiana

State Museum’s Capitol Park branch in Baton Rouge on Nov. 18 and

will run through Feb. 25, 2012. Mignon Faget: A Life in Art and

Design, originally organized by the Historic New Orleans Collec-

tion, features hundreds of objects—including jewelry, prints, linoleum

blocks, drawings, glassware and textiles. The exhibition presents the

artist’s commercial work and commissioned pieces for Mardi Gras

krewes, museums and numerous charitable organizations.

Faget’s life in art began when she was a young girl in New Orleans

designing clothing with her mother’s help. After graduating from

the Academy of the Sacred Heart, she earned a bachelor of fine arts

degree in sculpture at Newcomb College. Faget’s collective body of

work reflects her dedication to her native culture. In a career span-

ning more than four decades, she has repeatedly found inspiration in

Louisiana’s elements—its flora, fauna, food, architecture, history and

culture—transforming them into distinctive, wearable art.

“I was born here and I’ve lived here all of my life,” Faget said. “What

is so beautiful about Louisiana comes out through my work. It is a

mysterious place.”

The Louisiana Museum Foundation and the Louisiana State Museum

Friends will host a special evening reception and preview of Mignon

Faget: A Life in Art and Design on Thursday, Nov. 17. The Louisiana

State Museums’ Capitol Park branch in Baton Rouge is located at 660

N. Fourth Street, and daily admission is always free.

Hours: Tuesday-Friday 10 AM – 5 PM, Saturday 9 AM – 5 PM

Threads of Identity: Contemporary Maya Textiles through Dec. 31, 2011

Maya peoples of Guatemala and southeastern Mexico are renowned

for their time-honored tradition of magnificent attire. Throughout the

world, clothing transforms the biological body into a socio-cultural

being, integrating the person into the community. Among the Maya,

dress is an outward expression of cultural pride. Dress also conveys

one’s place in the world, signaling social identity and geographic origin

or current community.

Professional Development AwardThe Southeastern Region Professional Development Award for 2011 was not awarded. Therefore, the Regional Board at the annual meeting in Kentucky in August 2011, decided to allow those monies to stay in the 2012 budget. This decision will allow for the pos-sibility of offering two awards in this next year. It was also added to the guidelines, that since attending Cos-tume Society Meetings and Conferences is part of all of our professional development and enrichment that the application may not include registration fees, travel etc to CSA meetings.

In addition the Review Committee wishes to share the decision making criteria that has been in place for the last several years:

50 % of the decision is based on the project’s intrinsic adding to personal experience, professional growth, knowledge and or skills.

25% is centered on benefits, including added knowl-edge/ research to our profession of Costume Studies in general.

25% is consideration to the possible benefit to our region (CSA, members, students and public).

Note: This award is a “reimbursement,” not a set money award. This money will be made available after the receipts are given to the Regional Treasurer. The committee may select more than one recipient therefore the $1000,00 could be divided. If you have any ques-tions, please contact, Janea Whitacre [email protected] or Sarah Woodyard [email protected] or call (757)-229-1000 ext. 2537

1. From your Vice President, Janea Whitacre—Among other duties, I am officially the Regional Histo-rian. So in order to understand and fulfill these responsi-bilities I am currently doing an inventory of our history box. (Soon I will be asking you to dig through the closet and book shelves and find copies of past Symposium programs, notices of mini-meetings and other fun memo-rabilia.) But at present I am asking you to search your memories for some favorite stories about happenings and people that have helped make your participation in the Region memorable and special.

To get you started, allow me to tell one of my favorites. It was at the Meeting in Charleston, SC in 1991, hosted by the Museum of Charleston and Jan Heister, Curator of Costume. Late Saturday afternoon the program was free, and the weather was perfect for wandering around the city, shopping, visiting the market, and sampling Charleston cuisine. The group that I was a part of ended up on East Bay Street at dinnertime. We reviewed the curbside menus- the choice was staggering, but eventually we decided on a restaurant that advertised lobster over grits as the Saturday night special. I love lobster, but as a kid, I’d had some really bad “icky” experiences with grits, (but since you don’t go to Europe and eat at Pizza Hut,) I figured that sampling the local cuisine was important for my overall appreciation of this wonderful city. It was to die for- and I came home and raved to husband Ed, about this wonderful conference, the meal, the city and the museums. A year and a half later, Ed and I vacationed in Charleston, and this restaurant has since become one of our favorites. I don’t know about everyone else, but sev-eral times over the years CSA meetings have offered the opportunity to visit a place that has gone on the vacation wish list.

So delve into your conference memories, for funny sto-ries, serious ones and ones that inspired you.I look forward to hearing from all of you. Email me [email protected]

The outfit belonged to James (Jamie) Perney, who wore it when he was about 4 years old. The suit was given to him by an uncle who served in the Merchant Marines. Jamie died quite young from a brain tumor. The outfit was offered to the Smithsonian, but they had recently acquired a similar one and did not want another.

Some examples of mini-meeting events are:• Inviting members and guests to a lecture, exhibition, or

performance. • Sharing your professional skills such as hosting a class

on how to make 17th century closures, such as buttons.• Going to a show that you think the members would

enjoy.• Inviting the members to take a tour, such as a tour of

the Colonial Williamsburg costume storage facility.
