The New School Libraries have digitized more than 1,500 fashion design sketches selected from the archival collections of Claire McCardell, Norman Norell, and Mildred Orrick residing in the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Archives Center for Parsons the New School for Design. These images form the basis for the Fashion Design History Database, a growing electronic resource documenting the history of twentieth century American fashion. The database provides scholars with online access to primary research materials comprising the extensive holdings of the Kellen Archives Center. The images that comprise the Fashion Design History Database reflect the metamorphosis of women's fashion from the 1920s through the 1970s. Exploring themes of functionality and form, the designers whose work is represented in the database demonstrate the ways in which fashion has evolved along with women's changing roles.
