SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This qualifying paper explores the role that fashion played in the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair at Flushing Meadow in Queens, New York. How was fashion integrated into the development and design of the fair? Did the attempt to include fashion differ between the fashion industry and other industries present at the fair? With international representation, did involvement differ between countries present at the fair? What role - if any - did American fashion designers have at the fair?
