"The goal of the event was really to get the pieces out of the closet and raise awareness about the pieces and the history that goes along with them," Britt Benjamin, professor, Fashion Merchandising and Design, said. "...The students loved being a part of the event and getting to really interact with the collection and people." Photo by Mena Haas.
