Fashion in the Hispanic Society’s Collection of Illuminated Manuscripts: A Conversation with Amanda Wunder
Join us for a moderated conversation with Amanda Wunder, the curator of the exhibition Spanish Style: Fashion Illuminated, 1550-1700. Inspired by Spain’s imperial expansion, elite fashion in 16th and 17th century Spain underwent a profound transformation, producing opulent garments that radically reshaped the human body and projected an air of wealth and nobility. The talk will focus on the way Professor Wunder utilized the Hispanic Society’s tremendous collection of illuminated manuscripts to chart the development of elite style in early modern Spain.
The program begins with light refreshments, followed by the conversation and a viewing of the exhibition.
This conversation is presented in partnership with The Drawing Foundation and forms part of their programming for Drawings Week 2026.
The event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are required.
