The Collections
"As an independent researcher and curator, it is my hope that The Modern Classic Society's historical costume collection will be used to inspire a new fashion community who is interested and passionate in fashion as related to women's history and culture, past and present. "
Dr. Lisa S. Thompson, Founder of TMCS
It is the practice of The Modern Classic Society to
conserve rather than restore: we believe that worn wears and/or other related artifacts have more significant personal history than unused pristine wears. Signs of wear such as alterations, repairs, dirt/stains and modifications are
evidence that these are real wears and such worn and/or
used by real people.
