The Collections

The Fashion Resource Center (FRC) is a hybrid research hub for faculty and students within SAIC’s Fashion Department as well as the school’s larger community. Its unique collection of late twentieth and twenty-first century designer garments and accessories represent innovations in construction, materials, and embellishments. As a study collection, visitors are able to handle garments and objects, while referencing the FRC’s extensive visual, print and fabric libraries that support and illuminate the physical garments and accessories. These combined resources provide students and researchers with a creative and educational environment to explore the most progressive achievements in the world of fashion.
