The Emily P. Reynolds Historic Costume Collection (ERHCC) presents a display of paisley-inspired garments and accessories on the fourth floor of the Family Life Center.
The display tells the history of the paisley motif, from its creation in India to its adaptation in the West. Visitors will learn about the paisley motif’s use in cashmere shawls, its symbolism, development and its modern resurgence. Utilizing objects from the ERHCC, garments and accessories range from the late 19th century to the 1970s.
The display is available for viewing until Nov. 29. Faculty, staff and students are welcome to stop by the collection’s office in FLC room 407 to learn more about paisley and the ERHCC.
