Frill Seekers • Did you ever wonder how Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s use of distinctive collars with her judicial robes ever came about? Well, she once explained it like this: “You know, the standard robe is made for a man because it has a place for the shirt to show, and the tie…. Sandra Day O’Connor and I thought it would be appropriate if we included as part of our robe something typical of a woman. So I have many, many collars.” Any number of her collars were of lace, like the one shown below, commissioned by Columbia Law School to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of her investiture into the US Supreme Court. It doesn’t happen to be in the Bard Graduate Center’s show Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen (on view to January 1, 2023), but it provides a segue to this stunning exhibition. We spoke to Emma Cormack and Michele Majer, co-curators of the show and co-editors of the accompanying catalogue, about the wearers and makers of this luxurious textile.
