This year, the San Diego History Center and Mesa College’s Fashion Program celebrate a 12-year collaboration for Fashion Redux 2022. Four garments from the History Center’s historic clothing collection were used by fashion design students as inspiration for designing their own contemporary designs.

The student garments and their historical inspiration garments will be showcased at the San Diego History Center in Balboa Park starting April 15, 2022.

Visitors can also join us on Friday April 28th from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. for the Fashion Redux Virtual Event, featuring a lecture by Mesa College fashion professor, Jordyn Smiley, Collections Specialists from the San Diego History Center as well as a discussion panel with the top three students designers.
