ASHLAND Anita Madden was synonymous with sumptuous and spectacular parties every Kentucky Derby eve over the course of five decades (from the mid 1950s to the late 1990s).
ASHLAND The Highlands Museum and Discovery Center will honor a recent loss with an exhibit.
Curator Carolyn Warnock died March 10. The museum has been closed for several months because of COVID-19 restriction. One of the last projects Warnock was involved in before the closure was curating an exhibit focusing on womenâs suffrage.
Heather Whitman, curator and registrar at the museum, said Warnockâs exhibits demonstrated how fashion reflected changes in society.
For example, dramatic changed occurred in womenâs fashion once women gained the right to vote by the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920.
Floor-length dresses, mostly long sleeved, along with full corsets and ornamental hats were the style in 1910. By the 1920s, women were wearing loose-fitting, short, sleeveless dresses with head-hugging â and more practical â cloche hats.
