Current and Upcoming Exhibitions and Events

While the Texas Fashion Collection's facilities do not include dedicated exhibition space, the TFC does organize exhibitions and regularly facilitates artifact loans to cultural institutions worldwide. Past and current partnerships have resulted in several robust displays relating to design and social history. Dress objects represented range from international cultural dress to French haute couture to American ready-to-wear — and have been organized in traditional museum spaces and unconventional public venues. 

If your institution is interested in borrowing artifacts for an exhibition in a conservationally stable and secure location, please contact Annette Becker, TFC director.
