A Conversation with Richard Thompson Ford, Author of Dress Codes
Dress codes are as old as clothing itself. For centuries, clothing has been a wearable status symbol; fashion, a weapon in struggles for social change; and dress codes, a way to maintain political control. Even in today’s more informal world, dress codes still determine what we wear, when we wear it—and what our clothing means. Join us on March 24 at 7 pm EST as we welcome Law Professor and Author Richard Thompson Ford for an insightful and fascinating discussion on the history of the laws of fashion from the 18th century to today.
