Space Age, Youthquake & Prints Gone Wild: Modernism in Fashion by Trina Turk

The phrase “Midcentury Modernism” suggests architecture, furniture, and interior design, but fashion also embraced the pared-down design influences that were in the air at the time. The result was a fashion revolution.

Trina Turk will discuss the impact of cultural shifts on midcentury fashion, highlighting an arbitrary group of 8 iconic fashion designers and 3 revolutionary print houses. These include the practical American approach of Bonnie Cashin, the space-age stylings of Pierre Cardin, Courreges, and Paco Rabanne, the youthquake of London’s Mary Quant, the free-the-body approach of Los Angeles-based Rudi Gernreich, Yves Saint Laurent’s Mondrian dress, and the innovative print houses Marimekko, Vera and Pucci, illustrated with a stunning collection of photographs.

Trina Turk is a designer and entrepreneur celebrating 30 years in business in 2025. Inspired by California’s multicultural mix, architecture, and landscape, Trina Turk, known for her optimistic use of graphic prints and bold colors, has evolved into a print and color-driven lifestyle brand, celebrating California style with contemporary women’s ready-to-wear, swimwear, eyewear, residential goods, and Mr. Turk menswear.
