Through rare examples of traditional dress and adornment, this lecture will explore centuries of cross-cultural encounters in the Arabian Peninsula. Culled from private collections in Saudi Arabia, they include exceptional examples from the Kingdom's coastal region of Hijaz, home to historically cosmopolitan urban centers such as Mecca, Medina and the port city of Jeddah.
Alex Aubry is the Director of the Fashion Resource Center at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Editor-at-Large for Harper's Bazaar Arabia. From 2013-2016 he served as the Curatorial Director of the Art of Heritage Collection of Saudi Material Culture, and has contributed to two books on museum development and costume collecting in the Arabian Gulf region.
