Irene in Ohio Textile Exhibit

When you get the chance, stop over and take a look at this.  It’s fabulous! There is a Mini Irene Exhibit Included in the “Text and Textiles Exhibition” at The Ohio State University Historic Costume and Textiles Collection, Columbus Ohio, October 24th-December 5, 2009. Objects in the exhibition are related to projects by scholars who have used the Ohio State University Historic Costume and Textiles Collection for primary research materials.  The first chapter of Tom Gates’ unpublished manuscript about Irene is displayed along with several garments from Irene, Inc. dating from the 1950s.  One of them is a tailored yellow-suit in one of Irene’s favorite colors....
