Panel Discussion: Bell Bottom Country: Creating the Lainey Wilson Look
Saturday, September 6 | 2:30-4:00 PM | CMA Theater
Join Lainey Wilson as she discusses her signature style. Lainey Wilson’s signature fashion statement—her omnipresent bell bottoms—nod to a past era, but Wilson’s music and style are fresh, modern, and ideally suited for her unique sensibility. This panel, featuring Wilson and two of her main creative collaborators—CeCe Dawson and Raina Gir—will explore how Wilson’s style and branding have evolved as her profile has grown. Moderated by the Museum’s Jon Freeman, the panelists will delve into an assortment of Wilson’s aesthetic, costuming and staging choices, examining how they aligned with her artistic vision; take stock of creative shifts throughout Wilson’s career; and look ahead at what’s next for Wilson.
