The Getty: A Passion for Fashion.  From Ancient Times to the Age of Impressionism

 Laws that told you what you could or could not wear? High heels for men? Featuring objects from various museums, you will learn how some items of clothing were deadly, how hair got so high it became a fire hazard and even a bit about the dark side of fashion. Check out some of the bizarre items of clothing, hairstyles and make up that were part of everyday lives of the men and women who lived before the days of yoga pants and scrunchies. 

 

Docent Lee Rubinstein holds dual degrees in English and History with a minor in Art History. She has been leading students through the galleries at the Getty since the program's inception in 2012. Additionally, in 2007, Lee created the curriculum for, and now runs, a volunteer art program in underserved schools in Los Angeles.
