Kathryne Beynon Foundation Exhibition Hall

Represented by over 40 garments, these fashions emerged in response to sweeping changes in society, economics, and lifestyle for women. Read more. . .

Fabulous Fashion is also supported by French Hand Laundry, PMH's Textile Arts Council, Style on Green, High Low Vintage, New Moon Textiles, Roberta Dumas, Suzanne Ehrmann, Elissa De Angelo, Dr. Elizabeth Smalley, Susan Stevens, and Ann Wallace.
