Scarlet Threads

Explore hands-on workshops, creative investigations, and student presentations to uncover the surprising ways fashion and crime intersect.

Most of us think of clothing as something we wear, but what if it could also tell a story, reveal a secret, or hold evidence of the past? Scarlet Threads is an interactive event inspired by the intersection of crime and fashion. Through hands-on activities, student-led presentations, and creative projects, we'll explore how clothing can act as a clue, a disguise, a record of identity, and a reflection of the spaces we move through. Whether you're interested in fashion, archives, history, or simply love a good mystery, come join us on November 25 and discover what a single thread can reveal.
