About the event:

Join us for our inaugural ReFashioning History event at the Evanston History Center on June 27, 2024.

Evanston History Center invites professional and non-professional fashion designers, costume designers, technicians, tailors, stylists, and creators from Chicagoland to take their inspiration from our extensive, historically significant costume collection and create a new look of their own. Click here to learn more about participating in the competition.

Winning creations will be showcased on the evening of Thursday, June 27, 2024, beginning at 7:00 PM. Guests will be treated to a preview of our new fashion exhibition, followed by a fashion showcase that offers the opportunity to hear directly from featured designers about their processes and interpretations – all while enjoying live music featuring Ezequiel Navarro (oboe) and Abigail Stoner (harp) on our historic lakefront terrace. Proceeds go towards supporting our mission and collections care.
