Fashion Week of Rochester 2018 kicked off last week showcasing the work and talent of local clothing designers. That “fashion week” concept, which is celebrated by cities around the globe, was first introduced by legendary fashion publicist the late Eleanor Lambert. Lambert is credited for putting American fashion on the global map. Renowned fashion historian, author, and lecturer, John A. Tiffany, beautifully captures Lambert’s story and legacy in his book Eleanor Lambert: Still Here. Tiffany stopped by Need to Know during a recent visit to Western New York to share Lambert’s story, give us a glimpse into his new work, and to explain the impact of clothing on our culture, our society, and our lives.
