As part of the Continuum:Gender Identities exhibiton, we have invited vintage clothing dealer, Elaine Klausman to have a "girls' night out" trunk show."

 

Elaine lives in Weshester county, N.Y., and has a background in fashion history and merchandising from the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising in New York City.   After years of beiing in the fashion industry, working in a buying office, being a department manager at Saks Fifth Avenue and even having her own store, she finally realized that collecting vintage clothing was her passion. 12 years ago, that passion became a profession. Now, Elaine specializes in buying and selling designer vintage clothing and accessories from the 50's to the 70's. She buys and sells by appointment and exhibits and sells at many antique and vintage clothing shows across the country.

 

Elaine is bringing designer clothes that include Chanel, Yves Saint Laurant, Koos Vanden Aker, Christian Dior, Paulinte Triger,and many other things that are just beautiful designs.

 

"When discussing gender, what better way to express ones self image than through clothing? We can play with fantasy and be whoever we want to be at that moment, from whatever era we choose."  Elaine Klausman
