The Spring 2018 installation of New Threads featured 8 garments recently donated to the Avenir, including a Bhutanese Kira, Egyptian galabeya or jellabiya, and a gown by designer Reem Acra.
The Fall 2018 installation of New Threads featured 8 garments recently donated to the Avenir, including a WWII Gliderman’s uniform, two Miao baby carriers, and an early 1900s beaded bodice.
