How to Use This Site
Browsing and Searching the Digital Fashion Archive
To browse a designer's work or the wardrobe of a notable personality, see the list of exhibits to the left. Each exhibit begins with a brief biography followed by a gallery of items. Each item can be clicked into to see more information and to zoom in and use the 360° image controls.
To browse by other factors, or to search for items, click the Browse Items link at the top right of every page. Browsing by Tag allows users to select a particular "tag" (color, item type, material, etc.) and see a list of items with that feature. Searching Items offers the opportunity to search by keyword or, in the "Narrow by Specific Fields" section, to search for particular dates, identifiers (Object ID #s), etc.

Click play to start the garment rotation.
The square stops the rotation.
In still mode, the arrows rotate the image one turn at a time. You can also "grab" the image with the hand tool to rotate it.
The magnifying glass zooms in and out. Without a mouse, tap or click with your trackpad to grab the image, and use your fingers to zoom. (The image may take a moment to load after zooming.)
The full screen icon enlarges the image to fill the screen. The 360° controls move to the corners of the screen. NOTE: the full screen tool does not work on the initial garment page; click the "View 360 Image in New Window" link below the image to open it in a new window where this tool will work.
