Featured Collection January 2020 through May 2020:

A Matter of Emphasis shows how fashion trends can highlight--or manipulate--the human form. It opens on January 17th and runs through mid-May. Check out the puffy 1830s sleeves, an 1880s bustle, the slim, straight silhouette of the 1920s, and the 1950s “hourglass” look. Learn the behind-the-scenes “secrets” that made these fashionable looks possible.
