Interior designer Christina Roughan and architect Thomas Kligerman share how their work links interior design and architecture across this stylistic gap and how a clever handling of the two extremes can yield a rich and rewarding interpretation of new residential design.”\nChristina Roughan founded her acclaimed international design firm Roughan Interiors in 2009 with offices in Fairfield County CT and NYC. Designing since 1994\, Roughan began her design career with iconic lifestyle brands Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger\, designing retail stores and showrooms worldwide. Known for her talent of combining modern design and traditional interiors\, Christina’s knowledge of art\, mid-century modern\, and fashion serve her clients well in designing their residences\, yachts\, or equestrian properties around the globe. Her work has been published in numerous titles including Elle Decor\, House Beautiful\, House & Garden\, The Wall Street Journal\, CTC&G\, and Bedford New Canaan Magazine. Christina lives with her family in Weston CT in a 200 year old house with modern elements of design.\nBorn of a life of travel and living throughout the United States and overseas\, Thomas Kligerman has a deep interest in the rich history of domestic architecture\, interiors and landscapes as well as in the design process itself. Tom studies the design from hand-sketched concept through computer modeling\, 3D printing and full size mockups to hone the firm’s final designs. He serves on the boards of several charitable and educational institutions centering on architecture and the environment.\nMr. Kligerman’s latest book will be available for sale. The event is free.

The modern garment\, featuring an undefined waistline that abstracted the female body beneath\, was both extremely popular and extremely controversial. The uproar against the style has become legendary\, but to term the style a failure glosses over a more nuanced trajectory of 1950s styles\, and the legacy the sack dress actually established for Western women’s fashion. In hindsight the arguments against the sack centered around gendered expectations of how a woman was supposed to appear in her clothes. Through an understanding of the precedents\, timeline\, and reactions to the garment\, as well as a material culture analysis\, Lazaro’s talk contextualizes both the sack’s moment in dress history as well as its legacy and contribution to 20th-century fashion.\nDavid E. (Ned) Lazaro is the Associate Curator of Costume and Textiles at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford\, Connecticut. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. Ned has researched\, lectured\, published\, and taught on various aspects of Western clothing and textiles from the 17th through 21st centuries. His research focuses on design history\, the aesthetics and sensory experiences of fashion\, and identity formation.\nTo purchase tickets\, please click on this link: www.eventbrite.com/e/lunch4design-tickets-680140718197?aff=oddtdtcreator URL:https://livenewcanaan.org/event/lunch4design-on-1950s-fashion-with-ned-lazaro/ LOCATION:New Canaan Museum & Historical Society\, 13 Oenoke Ridge\, NEW CANAAN\, 06840 CATEGORIES:October 4 Design ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://livenewcanaan.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/scaled_768-1-lWluCw.tmp_.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="New Canaan Museum &%3B Historical Society":MAILTO:info@nchisotry.org.
