The Fashion and Textile Collection collaborated with the Chemical Hāeritage Foundation, for an exhibit entitled "Second Skin, The Science of Stretch." The exhibit explores the history and science behind the innovation of materials to help make the wearer look better, feel better, and athletes perform better with products that stretch. Garments from the Fashion and Textile Collection were selected to show the evolution of stretch in such categories as legwear, swimwear and intimate apparel. Dilia López-Gydosh, curator of the FTC said that "The pieces selected for the exhibit reflect how innovation in fibers and fabrics were interpreted in the trends over the past century".
