MARCH
3/20 Posy-Filled Pockets: A Lovely Corpse
All throughout history, death has inspired finery and fashion for both the dead and the living.
Join us as we look at the stories behind some of death's most fascinating vanities, those who chose beauty over longevity, the glamourous world of celebrity stiffs, and funeral fashion trends. After the talks, we will be showing a documentary about a fashion designer who designs custom made bio-degradable burial garments with client family participation.
Speakers:
Skye Bergen - Dressing the Dead: Corpse Couture
Marci Bennett - A Beautiful Corpse: The Glamorization of Expiration
Tim Lilyquist - Not Just a Suit: A Peek Into a Mortician's Closet
Courtney Williams: To Die For: Fatal Fashions
Film Screening: SOUL - A documentary about Pia Interlandi and her "garments for the grave".
Pia Interlandi is a fashion designer that creates beautiful, custom death shrouds, working along with the living to create an intimate, personal garment for her client's end of life.
