The Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum in Stowe is asking for the public’s help in developing a new exhibit, “Slope Style: Fashion on Snow, 1930-2014,” opening Friday, Nov. 28.
The exhibit will document the evolution of ski and snowboard fashion from the 1930s to the present. The museum is seeking one-year loans of on-snow or après-ski outfits.
A number of sponsorship packages and partnership opportunities are also available to support the exhibit, and volunteers to help with the exhibit are also welcome.
“The Slope Style exhibit idea was born from the recent acquisition of 25 iconic ski outfits from former Bogner model Sandra Heath,” said museum curator Meredith Scott. “By showcasing these items, as well as other important pieces from the museum’s permanent collection and loaned items, we hope to build a definitive exhibit of snow sports fashion.”
The museum is asking businesses and individuals to share one or more vintage outfits, including accessories. The outfits will be highlighted in a fashion show before the exhibit opens, then displayed for one year on lifelike mannequins. Each outfit will include anecdotes, images and memorabilia showcasing the sponsor’s association with the snow sports industry.
