The Friends of Fashion group brings community energy and expertise to the Fashion Department and the Historic Costume Collection.

The mission of the Mount Mary College Friends of Fashion is to support and preserve the College's Historic Costume Collection as an educational, scholarly, and artistic resource for Mount Mary students and the larger Milwaukee community.

Friends of Fashion members receive invitations to exhibition openings, special events, and the Student Fashion Show. Through the Friends of Fashion newsletter, members learn of recent developments within the Historic Costume Collection and current fashion forecasts. The Fall 2009 newsletter is now available in print and online.

Donations received by Friends of Fashion will help:

• preserve important aesthetic and historical artifacts
• support exhibitions
• purchase archival supplies
• improve the environmental controls of the gallery and collection spaces
