The Texas Fashion Collection began in 1938 when Stanley and Edward Marcus began preserving examples of top designers' works. These artifacts became part of a continuing collection housed at UNT. Annette Becker, director of the 20,000-piece collection, gives us a privileged look inside a few of these distinguished garments, specifically some of the hand-made collectibles.
