  • The Rhetoric of the Monographic Fashion Museum

    Fashion Studies (MA)

    Advising

    Ariel Stark holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Relations and Advertising from Chapman University and is a native of Southern California. Her thesis was developed at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, and places the museum’s prêt à porter and haute couture collections in dialogue with one another. In her research, Ariel explores the ways in which garments from these two methods of production and consumption are collected and exhibited in the fashion museum. The aim is to interrogate methods of representation in the fashion museum and propose a path to rethink the exhibition of the ready-to-wear legacy of Saint Laurent.
