Fashion Resource Center

Fashion bridges cultures–and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Fashion Resource Center (FRC), visitors can travel the world from right here on campus. FRC visitors can get a hands-on look at more than 3,000 garments from around the globe, plus thousands of books and periodicals that explore the cross-cultural conversations behind the designs. In this video, Associate Professor and Sage Endowed Chair of Fashion Design Abigail Glaum-Lathbury walks us through three examples that take inspiration from all over the world. Visit saic.edu/frc for even more information about the collection, and visit https://www.saic.edu/fashion-design to learn about studying fashion at SAIC.
