About This Lesson
Jean Claude Wouters, a dancer and artist, once took part in a ballet in Brussels in which he wore a crinoline very much like those that give structure to some of the garments in the exhibition, Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail at LACMA. Exhibition curators Sharon Takeda and Kaye Spilker invited Wouters to revisit the crinoline and its relationship to the body in a series of exploratory movements documented here.
