One Tank Trip to ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Museum

The ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ Museum opened a new exhibition titled β€œLife in Style: The Wardrobe of James Mulholland.”

Sarah Rogers, director of the museum, spoke to WJW-Fox 8 about the exhibition for One Tank Trips, the station’s series that highlights interesting destinations that do not take a long car ride. 

β€œWe have over 30,000 objects in the collection,” Rogers said. β€œYou can see everything from Japanese kimonos to very fancy dresses from the 18th century.” 

The main focus of the exhibit is fashion insider James Mulholland and his collection of contemporary male clothing.

β€œThe thing I’m most thrilled about is the fact that Kent State wanted to do an exhibition on menswear,” Mulholland told Fox 8. β€œWhich is something that very rarely, if ever, comes up.”  

In the interview, he discussed how he amassed the collection of clothing throughout his time working in the fashion industry. 

β€œThe collection was really all about how an individual expresses themselves through their clothing, the story that they tell,” Mulholland said.
