The codpiece. What was it about? Can it really be as obvious as it seems? Fortunately, we now have a video, created and narrated by FIT faculty member Chloe Chapin, to explain it all: history, significance, even a bit of theory. Chapin made the film on an artist’s residency at The MacDowell Colony. Her work there eventually led to a Fulbright grant in which she did research on the history of men’s suits. She now uses it in her Fashion Design courses at the college. Like us at: facebook/pages/Museum-of-New-Art/51957798982
