September 19 – February 28, 2027
Explore the enduring influence of agricultural workwear on contemporary style. Uncover how the functional details of workwear became the language of modern wardrobe, from everyday wear to high fashion. What began as practical design, like oversized pockets, reinforced seams, and rugged fabrics, has evolved into symbols of authenticity, craftsmanship, and personal style.
Through historic and contemporary garments, personal stories, and unexpected fashion connections, will discover how clothing designed for farm life has found its way onto runways, concert stages, and into everyday wardrobes. Created in collaboration with the Vermont Historical Society, Vermont Flannel, Carhartt, Warren, Mahshu, and other Vermont partners, Farm Fashion brings together history, agriculture, and contemporary culture in a distinctly Vermont way.
