The MHCTC, housed in the Department of Textile and Apparel Management (TAM), <a href=\"https:\/\/mhctc.missouri.edu\/collection\/ginger-rogers\/\">has an incredible collection of clothing and other items from Ginger\u2019s long career<\/a> on the screen and stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gala was a throwback to the Golden Age of Hollywood and featured live music as well as performances by the Mizzou Ballroom Dance Club. Eight TAM students also showed their own pieces that were <a href=\"https:\/\/mhctc.missouri.edu\/exhibitions\/ginger-rogers-dressed-to-impress\/tam-2280\/\">inspired by apparel from the collection.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marge Padgitt, former owner and director of the Owens-Rogers House in Independence, Mo., as well as Roberta Olden, Ginger Rogers\u2019 personal assistant, donated all items in the exhibition. We\u2019re grateful for their trust and proud to share these historic objects with a new generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MHCTC makes world-class research readily available to the Mizzou community as well as scholars from across the nation and world. I enjoyed celebrating the life of a notable Missourian and seeing the incredible creativity of our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I joined Board Chair Robin Wenneker and members of the Mizzou community for a special Golden Gala honoring the life and fashion of film star \u2013 and Missouri native \u2013 Ginger Rogers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9949\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
