Jennifer Rothrock - MA Fashion Curation

Jennifer Rothrock was one of the participants in the recent MA Showtime Exhibition from London College of Fashion. Although the Fashion Curation students had a very minimal presence at the exhibition Jennifer's statement was fascinating and so I followed it up on the web.

Her research on Mourning, Memory and Memento looks at the significance of mourning in the lives of Victorian women. The outcome of her work is the design for a three room exhibition to create an experience of Victorian mourning through dress curation. Knowing nothing about professional exhibition curation I found the room plans as interesting as the theory behind the work.
