Other Accessories
As a teaching resource, the Fox Collection seeks to represent all facets of fashionable dress. This includes unexpected accessories that are less common in contemporary fashion—such as parasols, fans, and hair combs—which offer valuable insight into historical practices of style, etiquette, and daily life.
Research and cataloging of the Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection is ongoing, and our records may be incomplete or evolving. In keeping with our educational mission, we strive to make as much of the collection accessible online as possible. Doing so sometimes requires flexibility in traditional metadata and cataloging standards. We welcome feedback that may help enhance the accuracy of our records and deepen understanding of the collection.
