Episode 8 – Christine Waidenschlager and Fashion in Berlin Museums
Manage episode 314756651 series 3226336
The 8th episode was recorded in Berlin, where I met with the former fashion curator of the Decorative Arts Museum, Christine Waidenschlager. She recently retired from her long career of establishing a fashion museum in Berlin. We first met in 2005, when I started researching my co-authored book Berliner Chic: A Locational History of Berlin Fashion (2011), and we have kept in touch over the years, while I continued to check up on the fashion and cultural developments in Berlin. I wanted to record this episode before Christine left Berlin, and the professional world of fashion for good, and to provide a platform for her to tell the story of her life’s work, and why fashion in museums helps us learn about other histories and cultures as well.
