and apparel studies, served as a speaker for the Designing and
Implementing an Aftercare Program for Haiti´s Apparel Sector workshop
hosted by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and World Bank.
During his presentation, Lu shared his latest findings on U.S. fashion
companies’ evolving sourcing strategies and the implications for Haiti
suppliers. Like many least developed countries (LDCs), the apparel
sector accounts for over 80% of Haiti’s total merchandise exports and
plays a significant role in the country’s economic and social
development. Meanwhile, over 90% of Haiti’s apparel exports go to the
United States alone. Participants to the workshop included senior Haiti
economic and trade officials, industry leaders and officers from the
World Bank and other international organizations.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87;L0|#0d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87|Presentations;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=258 | |

| Roelse conducts research on historic wedding dress | Roelse conducts research on historic wedding dress | | 3/11/2022 5:00:00 AM | | <p>In 1953, American couturier Ann Lowe designed the wedding dress for
future First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier’s marriage to John F. Kennedy, a
dress that became one of the most recognizable and beloved wedding
dresses in America. As a Black designer, Lowe didn’t receive proper
credit for her work at the time. <strong>Katya Roelse</strong>,
instructor in fashion and apparel studies, and Winterthur textile
conservator Kate Sahmel recently visited the John F. Kennedy
Presidential Library and Museum in Boston together to examine and
document the construction of the original dress, which is too fragile to
display on a form. Working with University students, Roelse will use
the information gathered from this visit to create a reproduction of the
dress for the Winterthur exhibition <em>Ann Lowe: American Couturier</em>, opening September 2023.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#6db99fdb-00c1-4351-83a6-46de89e19c2d;L0|#06db99fdb-00c1-4351-83a6-46de89e19c2d|Research;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=163 | |
