Through April 24: Asian fashion part of Mom’s Weekend

A personal collection of salwar-kameez, the national dress of South Asia, will be on display in the Terrell Library atrium display case through April 24, part of Mom’s Weekend events on the Pullman campus. The garments are from WSU Libraries’ Lipi Turner-Rahman; the exhibit is curated by WSU Libraries’ Mary Gilles.

The salwar-kameez, also known as the Punjabi suit, was a popular clothing style for women in South Asia beginning in the early 19th century and flourished from the 1980s onward. For Turner-Rahman, the suit is a family tradition established by her mother.
