Vintage Meier & Frank Fashions Return to Downtown Portland in New Display by OSU Students A collection of vintage clothing and accessories from the original Meier & Frank Department Store in downtown Portland is returning to the historic building this fall in a new window display designed by Oregon State University students. The display, which showcases the history of the Meier & Frank Building and fashion through time, was installed in a space made available to OSU’s Col- lege of Business by The Nines Hotel, which occupies the building’s top floors. The window is located on Morrison Street to the right of The Nines entrance. Oregon State is The Nines’ newest neighbor in the iconic Meier & Frank Building. The university is leas- ing the second floor of the building for its new Port- land Center. Classes began in the freshly remodeled, 39,509 square-foot space in September. OSU’s College of Business is home to the universi- ty’s design programs, including apparel design, in- terior design, design management, merchandising management and retail management.. The college also is offering undergraduate and graduate busi- ness degrees in a hybrid in-person/online format at the new Portland center. The pieces featured in the display window were chosen from among hundreds in the university’s Historic and Cultural Textile and Apparel Collection.
