“This year’s theme was complementary to the overall mission of the conference,” says Nicole LaMoreaux, Reference and Instruction Librarian. “We focused on fashion as art as it relates to the past, present, and future of fashion information and hosted presenters, artists, and attendees from around the world. This was our first year displaying art throughout the conference and it was a resounding hit.”
