The LSU Textile & Costume Museum will open its newest exhibition, titled “Women Fashioning Women,” with a reception from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

The exhibition pays homage to the history of women fashion designers. Ironically, in an industry fueled and supported by women, the accomplishments of women fashion designers have historically been lesser known.

The show presents 52 total looks by more than 20 female designers of the 20th and 21st centuries, with the earliest piece on display dating from 1905. The most recent article in the exhibit is an LSU Golden Girls dance leotard designed by LSU alumna Suzanne Perron St. Paul, who was a Golden Girl herself.

St. Paul’s Golden Girl uniform debuted in the fall of 2018. She worked on the design concept for about a month before making the 18 uniforms over the following three months.

“I wanted to make sure we had as much gold as we could get. In the past, a lot of the uniforms have had a nod to a fleur-de-lis shape,” she said. “Women have a different perspective on dressing women. They have a more personal view on how to outfit the female body.”

The Golden Girl uniforms are made of high-quality performance fabrics, including lycra, stretch mesh and gold metallic. The surface is embellished with Swarovski crystals and hand-painted details of a stylized fleur-de-lis, which wraps the waist and contours to the back. Slip-on sleeves complete the look.

“This exhibition is a fashion feast for the eyes and solidifies the influential accomplishments of woman fashion designers,” Michael Mamp, director and curator of the LSU Textile & Costume Museum and associate professor, said. “In an industry fueled and supported by women, the accomplishments of women fashion designers are lesser known.”

“With ‘Women Fashioning Women,’ I hope to reposition the accomplishments of successful but oft-forgotten women designers in the main body of fashion.”

Mamp said a 2020 exhibition in Salem, Massachusetts, titled “Made It: The Women who Revolutionized Fashion,” ignited the drive to once and for all remove women designers from the shadows of an industry often dominated by men.

The LSU Textile & Costume Museum prides itself in being at the forefront of emergent and essential fashion history research, according to Mamp. He added that in the coming year other museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will exhibit fashions of female designers with variable focus and scope.

With a wide range of artifacts pulled from the holdings of the LSU Textile & Costume Museum and others borrowed from partner institutions, the show responds to the assessment of feminist and theorist Bell Hooks, who said that “to be in the margin is to be part of the whole but outside the main body.”

The LSU Textile & Costume Museum is located inside the Human Ecology Building, 330 Tower Drive on LSU’s campus. The show will run through March 28.

There was some doubt about whether New Orleans — a city whose people are not generally known for being quiet or obedient — could successfully execute Beyoncé ‘s mute challenge.

Jokes about how New Orleans would utterly fail circulated social media in the days leading up to Beyoncé’s Superdome show Wednesday night. And there were doubts still as the superstar took the stage in her iconic fuchsia pink gown and sang the first bars of Energy, prompting audience members to elbow one another and remind each other that, “This is the one.”

But apparently New Orleans can get quiet when it needs to. The response to Beyoncé’s call, “Look around everybody on mute,” was near total, echoing silence.

Can’t see the video below? Click here.

Beyoncé’s mute challenge became a competition between cities worldwide during the “Renaissance” tour. Fans became increasingly conscious of and serious about the challenge as the tour carried on, with videos of the best and worst audience reactions often going viral shortly after each performance.

FOR ANYONE THAT SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ULTIMATE CHAMPIONS OF THE MUTE CHALLENGE LOOK AT BEYONCÉ’S REACTION!!!!! pic.twitter.com/BJzEE80tkD https://t.co/75rjLCi9BL

Some fans took to social media in the hours after Beyonce’s Dome show to declare New Orleans the mute challenge winner, with many noting Beyoncé’s seemingly elated reaction to quiet overtaking the Dome.

Of course, every city wants to believe it won the mute challenge and impressed Beyonce the most, and she appeared to be plenty happy with several other audiences in several other cities at the big moment of truth.

But this time it really does feel like we won.
