Strawberry Mansion neighbors visited the 'Ann Lowe: American Couturier,” exhibit at Winterthur Museum in January. Now, they're having their own fashion discussion at the Historic Strawberry Mansion.

Inspired by designer Ann Lowe, Strawberry Mansion neighbors will talk fashion, identity and community on Saturday

While high-society clients knew who Ann Lowe was, her name was kept secret from the general public. That meant she never reaped the recognition, or the financial rewards, she might have received had she been white.The Strawberry Mansion Neighborhood and Homeowners Association announced a program called “Unsung and UnSung Sheroes: In The Black Community: Ann Lowe.”: Lowe had been born in Alabama before the turn of the 20th century to a family of enslaved dress designers.

“We are asking people to come out and share their fashion stories,” Jenkins-Hayden said. “We want people to bring photos of themselves, or of their grandparents and how they dressed, to talk about how the clothing they wore shaped their identities,” she said. At the Saturday program, they will show pictures of Ann Lowe’s gowns, and even from those pictures, Jenkins-Hayden said, people will be able to tell from the level of detail, how much of her soul went into the art of her design.
