Women's History Museum
Women's History Museum (WHM) is the collaborative art and fashion practice of Mattie Barringer and Amanda McGowan. Working across garments, sculpture, print, video, and performance, WHM examines the visual and material culture of fashion to trace the entanglements of femininity, labor, and value. They often reconstruct historically lost subjectivities shaped by the ways fashion exploits the emotional, psychological, and social desires projected onto the feminine.

Conceived as a hybrid between an exhibition catalogue and a fashion lookbook, as well as a document of their practice and a sculptural object in its own right, the Women's History Museums' first publication interweaves newly commissioned texts with illustrated image spreads that reference iconic precedents, from Matsuda's 1990s lookbooks to early Vivienne Westwood.
