With its 10,000-plus items, the archive illuminates how people dressed, worked, and lived in the past\u2014as well as today<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Alexandra Bond \u201912 <\/strong>& Lindsay Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bright corridor of the Human Ecology Building, a mannequin in a display case sits at an antique sewing machine. The figure is wearing a dark blue jumpsuit with white squares, each featuring the multicolored logo of the International Ladies\u2019 Garment Workers\u2019 Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another vitrine across the hall, one mannequin is clad in an Indian classical dance outfit with a jangly gold belt, while another wears a white polyester Elvis costume dripping with rhinestones and silver stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An assortment of T-shirts displaying faces of music icons like John Lennon, Aretha Franklin, and Taylor Swift hang from the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The items, part of an exhibit called \u201cSounding Fashion,\u201d are meant to illustrate how fashion makes noise\u2014either literally, as in the soft clicking of pearl dangle earrings, or figuratively, like the union logos of the early-20th-century garment workers who fought for better conditions and a living wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pieces represent just a handful of the 10,000-plus items in the Cornell Fashion + Textile Collection<\/a>. Housed in a recently revamped facility in Human Ecology, the collection\u2014more than a century in the making\u2014contains garments, shoes, accessories, and other pieces dating as far back as the 1700s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese items tell important stories that might not be recorded in words,\u201d says Denise Green \u201907, the collection\u2019s director and an associate professor of human centered design. \u201cYou can tell a lot about the way people lived by looking at their clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally known as the Costume and Textile Collection, the archive started with a small assortment of items that Beulah Blackmore\u2014hired in 1915 as Cornell\u2019s first faculty member on the subject\u2014used for teaching purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1936, she cashed out her life insurance policy and, with a small contribution from the Department of Home Economics, took a sabbatical to travel the world and collect indigenous apparel and fabrics, adding them to the 19th-century clothing she\u2019d already begun curating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBack then, students didn\u2019t travel like they do today,\u201d says Green, \u201cso she was determined to bring world cultures to her students through the garments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the collection\u2014about a fifth of which comes from non-Western nations including Nigeria, Nepal, and China\u2014has grown into a wide-ranging plethora of donated items. All costs associated with exhibitions, accessioning, cataloguing, and preservation are funded by grants and gifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection\u2019s holdings fall into three main categories: Western clothing, textiles, and accessories; ethnographic garments and accessories from around the world; and functional apparel. The first group comprises the largest number of items\u2014including gowns from the 1800s to the present, dozens of pairs of blue jeans, and a soft pink Juicy Couture tracksuit from 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Functional apparel is the catalog\u2019s smallest category, but contains particularly intriguing items, including a women\u2019s U.S. Marine Corps uniform from the 1940s, a late-2000s firefighter jacket with reflective stripes, and a yellow-and-black quilted lining from a 1970s paramedic coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople tend to want to conserve things that hold the most value, like their wedding dress,\u201d says Samantha Stern \u201917, who majored in fashion design and management and worked in the collection all four years of undergrad. \u201cIn terms of historical significance, though, sometimes work clothing or what people wore on a day-to-day basis are actually the most important things to preserve and understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A major renovation of the collection\u2019s nearly 1,500-square-foot, humidity- and climate-controlled facility was completed in summer 2019. Managed by the Department of Human Centered Design, it serves as a resource for teaching, research, and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you walk into the collection, it\u2019s overwhelming,\u201d says Sian Brown, MA \u201920, who curated a 2020 exhibit<\/a>\u2014for which she interviewed Black women fashion designers from around North America about their experiences\u2014that featured several items from the collection. <\/strong>\u201cYou can almost feel the history of all the items.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Elvis jumpsuit almost certainly belonged to <\/strong>an impersonator rather than the King himself, other items were sported by public figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They include a scalloped judicial collar with decorative stones worn by Ruth Bader Ginsburg \u201954 on the Supreme Court bench and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt\u2019s silvery blue evening gown, satin slippers, and fox-fur stole from her husband\u2019s second inaugural ball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection typically hosts <\/strong>three exhibitions per year in its gallery on the terrace level of Human Ecology. (During the pandemic, when campus was largely closed to the public, virtual and hybrid shows filled the gap.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fashion fans unable to visit in person can peruse the entire catalogue digitally, thanks to a meticulously detailed\u00a0online database<\/a>. Temporary exhibitions are often brought out to events, like Homecoming, galas, and screenings at Cornell Cinema.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While exhibits are the public\u2019s most accessible touchpoints to the collection, pre-arranged visits to its facility are available to student and faculty researchers. <\/strong>It also conducts tours for local school districts, Girl Scout troops, community organizations, and alumni groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s such an expansive range in the collection, from historical to more contemporary and across many different cultures,\u201d says Brown. \u201cIf you\u2019re interested in fashion history, there\u2019s really something for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
