Established at The University of Alabama in the 1930s, a collection of historical garments and textiles housed in the Department of Clothing, Textiles and Interior Design is undergoing a transformation with a new direction and a new curator. The Fashion Archive in the College of Human Environmental Sciences (CHES) will have some of its objects featured in the upcoming “Women of the Tide” exhibition that opens at The Gorgas House Museum on June 28.
Recently appointed curator Dr. Marcy L. Koontz, a CHES faculty member since 1998, says that the “Women of the Tide” exhibition will be our first opportunity to share some of the new ways in which we plan to creatively showcase objects from the collection with the public. And, we have thoughtfully selected items of dress worn by women of The University of Alabama representing five distinct decades.
Take a few moments to view The University of Alabama in a unique light and visit the “Women of the Tide – 125 Years of Women – 1893-2018” exhibition which runs through September 28, 2018.
