DESCRIPTION:Apr 24 - Aug 2\, 2026\nElizabeth Hawes (1903–1971) was a midc
 entury American fashion designer who pushed back against her own field. A 
 fashion critic as well\, she was called “the Dorothy Parker of fashion c
 riticism.” In her most famous book\, Fashion Is Spinach (1940)\, Hawes w
 rote that “fashions change because the industry must meet payrolls\, mag
 azines must be published\, and a myth must be perpetuated.” She instead 
 championed common-sense personal style. Born in New Jersey\, working first
  as a sketcher in New York City in her 20s\, Hawes cut her teeth in Paris 
 as a designer with Nicole Groult\, the sister of Paul Poiret\, and develop
 ed a technique based on draping. Back in New York\, she designed through t
 he 1930s and then transitioned into writing\; her politics were leftist. H
 awes was influential and foward-seeing. This Cincinnati exhibition of more
  than 50 garments\, plus sketches and illustrations\, has the distinction 
 of being the first major museum exhibition focused on Hawes’s body of wo
 rk.
