Phoenix Art Museum has appointed costume historian, designer, and lecturer Helen Jean to serve as the interim curator of fashion design. Jean, who serves as a college representative at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), previously served for five years at the Museum as the curatorial assistant for Dennita Sewell, who was recently named the Museum’s Jacquie Dorrance Curator of Fashion Design Emerita. Over the next year, she will curate exhibitions presented in the Kelly Ellman Fashion Design Gallery as the Museum continues its search for its next Jacquie Dorrance Curator of Fashion Design. “We are thrilled to welcome Helen Jean back to Phoenix Art Museum as our interim curator of fashion design,” said Gilbert Vicario, the Museum’s Deputy Director
