American Style and Spirit
130 Years of Fashions and Lives of an Entrepreneurial Family
Exhibit at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation®
- November 5, 2016 – April 2, 2017
Walk through a living catalog of American style spanning 130 years. Rare in scope and detail, selected clothing from the collection brings the lives of the entrepreneurial Roddis family into sharp focus through fashion. Dozens of wearable time capsules — discovered carefully boxed up in the attic — tell an engaging epic of American style and spirit.
Letters, photographs and heirloom objects bring to life the person behind each garment. As American as aspiration, the clothing reveals a sense of self-expression against a backdrop of history.
