Description

Susanne Bartsch and Dr. Valerie Steele (director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT) in conversation at The Museum at FIT's 15th fashion symposium, Fashion Underground: The World of Susanne Bartsch, held October 22 & 23, 2015.

Suzanne Bartsch has been prominent in New York nightlife since the 1980s. Her penchant for extreme fashion made her name the equivalent of a couture label for party people around the world. Dr. Valerie Steele is director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT. She has organized more than twenty exhibitions, including "Gothic: Dark Glamour" and "Fashion Underground: The World of Susanne Bartsch".

The fifteenth annual fashion symposium, Fashion Underground: The World of Susanne Bartsch, explores the creative links between Bartsch's 30 years of sartorial self-expression and its influence on the global fashion scene.
