20th Century clothing exhibited at Hillestad Gallery
An exhibit on 20th century dress featuring a group of significant donors and their stories opens March 13 in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery. The exhibit will consist of groupings of fine examples of men's and women's clothing from the last 80 years. The exhibit runs through April 8.
The items were donated to the Historic Costume Collection in the Department of Textiles, Clothing and Design in the College of Education and Human Sciences.
Clothing worn by Alice Abel, Marjorie Woods, and the late Mary Louise Babst, Mable Lee and Jack Graff, will be exhibited. Outstanding examples of British tailoring will be shown in the Jack Graff collection. Early examples of women's physical education uniforms and gear will be exhibited in a section devoted to telling the story of Mable Lee one of the nation's leaders in the development of organized women's athletics. Tweeds and wool plaids and stripes will be the common denominator of the exhibition but designer gowns by such significant designers as Chanel, Norman Norrell, Bill Blass and Oscar de la Renta will be included.
The exhibition will open with a lecture at 1 p.m. March 13 in Room 11 Home Economics Building, by Janice Stauffer, theatre arts associate professor and costume designer, an authority on men's dress. The title of her talk is "Suiting Everyone: A Story of Men's Tailoring."
For more information, call Barbara Trout, exhibit curator, 472-6371.
