Carole Schinck is a dress historian (MA in Costume Studies, New York University, 2019), print media professional and former editor-in-chief of ELLE Québec. For the last twelve years, she has helped disseminate knowledge about art by providing freelance editorial services to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, notably supervising the editing of the award-winning catalogue for the exhibition The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk. Carole has interned at the Costume Collection of the Museum of the City of New York and at the Centre national du costume de scène et de la scénographie in Moulins, France. Her master’s thesis focused on torch singer Libby Holman’s costuming, a topic encompassing her dual research interests in the stage costumes of twentieth- and twenty-first-century female singers and the golden era of post-Second World War couture. She has recently presented at PQ 2019 (Prague), at the FCVC 2019 Conference (Roubaix, France) and has been selected to speak at the CSA 2020 Symposium (forthcoming) and the ADH 2020 New Research in Dress History Conference (forthcoming). A finalist for the CSA 2020 Betty Kirke Excellence in Research Award, she is pursuing a career in fashion curation, publishing and teaching.
