About

Linden Hill is scholar of modern and contemporary art, with research focuses on fashion, visual culture, and dance. She is currently completing her dissertation, Spaces of Glamour: Fashion, Performance, and Identity in Postwar America, at Stanford University. This project examines three commercial spaces––the Dallas-based Neiman Marcus department store, 1960s boutiques on New York’s Upper East Side, and the traveling Ebony Fashion Fair––that sat at the intersection of art, fashion, and performance and challenged the traditionally white, urban, and heteronormative frameworks of glamour proposed by Hollywood. She has worked as the archivist for the fashion designer Thom Browne and held positions at the Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.
