Palin’s Fashion-Gate: A Big Boost for Style, But Not for the GOP By WWD Staff At least someone is shopping: the Republicans and Sarah Palin. Given the beleaguered state of American retailing in the downward spiraling economy, stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New York and Macy’s no doubt welcomed the Republican National Committee’s shopping spree on behalf of Palin with open arms. In some cases, it may even have helped goose their September same-store sales. And in this day and age, anything that boosts the profile of fashion and retailing can only be a good thing. Not that one would know it from the furor Palin’s wardrobe, hair and makeup created on Wednesday — even if the result has turned her into a politician admired for her style and See Palin’s, Page9 PHOTO BY ROBERT MITRA ROBERT PHOTO BY WWD.COM WWDTHURSDAY Sportswear FASHION Designers went in several directions for spring, ™ 6 and the best gowns had special details such as A weekly update on consumer attitudes and behavior based crystal beading, fl ower corsages or prints. on ongoing research from Cotton Incorporated GENERAL 1 Sarah Palin went on a shopping spree at stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL: Barneys New York and Macy’s.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 2 WINDOW SHOPPING: COMMERCIAL INSPIRATION FOR FASHION IN THE MUSEUM In his work on the “exhibitionary complex,” Tony Bennett (1996) showed how nineteenth-century museums and galleries were intimately connected in their design and conception to the expanding commercial architecture of the same period. The technical possibilities and visual experiences of industrial exhibitions and shopping arcades found analogous applications in museum spaces. As Mackie noted, “Both the retail shop and the public repository are designed for the display of information that is predominantly visual: looking is a means for possession as well as knowledge” (1996: 325). This blurring of commercial and intellectual cultures within the museum continues to create unease and controversy, particularly in the case of fashion exhibitions (Anaya 2013; Gamerman 2014). This chapter investigates how the introduction of fashion—an increasingly important economic and social product in the industrial period—into museums created new connections and tensions between these two worlds. It was because of its position between the disciplines of economy and history that historical fashion entered and was interpreted in museums.
