The largest exhibition of Ann Lowe, American Couturier’s work to date
Ann Lowe: American Couturier runs from September 9, 2023 through January 7, 2024 at the Winterthur Museum. The exhibit includes the recreation of the iconic wedding dress that Ann Lowe designed for Jacqueline Bouvier.
The exhibit features 40 iconic gowns, many that have never been on public display. It illuminates Ann Lowe’s evolution as a designer from the 1920s to the 1960s.

To display Lowe’s historic dresses, the lab partnered with Katya Roelse and with UD’s MakerGym, an interdisciplinary design and fabrication studio, to develop cost-effective archival-quality mannequins. Lowe (1898–1981) meticulously constructed her garments to fit her clients’ bodies, so each dress in the exhibit had to have a mannequin made that was unique to the dress, said Heather Hansen, a conservation assistant in the textile lab at Winterthur.
