We periodically host a Lifelong Excellence Speaker Series where we cover timely topics that go beyond investing to foster camaradarie and connect with clients. This has been particularly valuable during the pandemic when we were unable to meet in-person.
On Thursday, June 10, we hosted a conversation on clothing and the relationship we have with our wardrobes in a post-pandemic world. The discussion was hosted by Kirstin Havnaer of Ferguson Wellman and featured Scarlet Chamberlin, stylist and jewelry designer, Lily Sheehan, associate professor at Oregon State University and Betsy Warren, clothing curator and owner of the Bliss House Museum.

In addition to her work at Oregon State University, Lily Sheehan has published the book, Modernism à la Mode: Fashion and the Ends of Literature. It focuses on connections between literature and fashion, which, while not addressed during our webinar, contains related material about how fashion shaped ideas and experiences of gender and race in the 1920s.
For further reading related to her webinar discussion, she recommends, Mademoiselle: Coco Chanel and the Pulse of History, by Rhonda Garelick and an article published in The Atlantic: "The Underclass Origins of the Little Black Dress" by Shelley Puhak.
For those interested in visiting the Bliss House Museum, it is currently open by appointment only and groups are limited to eight people. More information can be found below.
