Design & Designers: The History of American Department Stores

Join designer & stylist Robbie Amodeo for interesting insights into the worlds of fashion, costume and more!

Inspired by the book he is writing – The Romance of Retail – Robbie Amodeo’s debut lecture with the Alliance covers a fascinating look into the glamorous heyday of department stores and how they evolved since the 1800’s, including the “firsts” in America and how the American Midwest was as relevant to the burgeoning retail as cities such as NYC and Philadelphia. Throughout the talk, enjoy the photos and vintage pieces that Robbie will highlight.
