Maude Bass-Krueger
Maude Bass-Krueger is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Leiden (Netherlands). Her Ph.D., ‘The culture of dress history in France: The past in fashion, 1814–1900’, defended at the Bard Graduate Center in New York, examined the articulation between history and fashion in nineteenth-century French academia, popular culture, museum exhibitions, fancy dress and theatre costume design. Maude co-directs the seminar ‘Histoire et Mode’ at the IHTP-CNRS in Paris with Sophie Kurkdjian. Since December 2014, they have organized more than twenty conferences, study days and colloquium in Paris on fashion-related topics, often in conjunction with colleagues in France and abroad. Together, Maude and Sophie also co-teach a seminar on fashion history and theory at the CHS Paris I-Sorbonne. Along with Alexia Fontaine, they are the lead initiators of the French government-funded project ‘Culture(s) de mode’, which aims to develop the network and research of fashion studies in France.
