The Friends of Fashion, a group of individuals dedicated to the conservation of historic clothing and cultural artifacts, have also generously supported the preservation and growth of the Archive. Items in the Archive have been purchased through auction and obtained through gifts, including the Charles Kleibacker Collection of European and American designer garments amassed by the American designer and donated to Mount Mary in recognition of his long-time support of the Fashion Program. Members of the arts community can utilize the Archive for information and inspiration to help them authentically incorporate fashion into their own work. In addition to its educational and historical significance, the Archive is also an important artistic and aesthetic resource. Many items chronicle the history of the garment industry in Milwaukee, including notable manufacturers Reliable Knitting, Jack Winter, JH Collectibles and others. The Collection includes garments from the closets of noted Wisconsin women including designer Florence Eiseman, chanteuse Hildegarde, actress Lynn Fontanne, Wisconsin First Ladies and more. Items from the Archive have been part of exhibitions at Ten Chimneys, The Museum of Wisconsin Art, the Pabst Mansion, the Wisconsin State Historical Society and other venues. Each garment reveals information about the period in which it was created, as well as the people who made it and wore it. The Collection is also an important historical resource. Students also use the collection for additional information, research or inspiration.
