About

The Textiles and Clothing Museum is a teaching tool in the apparel, merchandising, and design program, which is housed in the department of Apparel, Events, and Hospitality Management at Iowa State University. The collection is used as a source throughout the curriculum to learn about the social, historical, political, economic, and cultural aspects of fashion in various contexts. We collect and document clothing, accessories, textiles, and other related objects to support the curriculum needs as we teach and exhibit various topics related to the past and the current cultural climate. These objects may come from regional, national, or global perspectives. We are committed to social justice and intersectionality in the study of fashion history. We recognize our past practices rooted in white supremacy, abelism, homophobia, transphobia, fat phobia, and xenophobia. We aim to reject these biases in our future practices related to documenting fashion histories.
