Curatorial Exhibition Scholarship
Authors: Joshua D. Simon , Kelly L. Reddy Best (Iowa State University)
In Luis Estévez: Fashion, Elegance, and Exoticization, a physically-mounted (opened April 8, 2022) exhibition at a university, we explore Estévez’s career, a Cuban American, openly bi-sexual designer who had a prolific fashion career, yet has received minimal scholarly attention. Centering Estévez disrupts the dominant, white, heterosexual narrative in fashion history.
Keywords: american, designer, cuban, 20th century, exhibition, curatorial, dress, couture, ready-to-wear
