    This is a composite and hero image for the digital exhibit titled, "Suited to Lead: The Lives of Six Presidents Through Fashion", curated by Fiona Hibbard. "Suited to Lead" considers how dress functioned as a tool of self-expression for these presidents, and how their choices in dress reflected their preferences, societal expectations, as well as their position. The digital exhibit explores dress before, during, and after the presidencies of six American presidents. The composite is made of the portraits of the six presidents featured in the exhibit, clockwise from the far left: Theodore Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Harry S. Truman, and John Quincy Adams. It may only be used for press and publicity purposes related to the exhibit. All other uses must be approved by the White House Historical Association in writing.
