To show off their latest acquisitions, the costume history and costume museum management classes at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa have set up a "New Acquisitions" exhibit in Miller Hall Gallery, Room 112.
Among the donations: a silk velvet holoku, two Japanese wedding kimonos, a signature Pucci dress and a turn-of-the-century (the 20th, that is) lingerie dress and black velvet beaded cape.
The gallery is open 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. On Friday, it'll be open from 2 to 4 p.m. for a homecoming event.

Razanne has the body of a preteen. The doll comes in three types: fair-skinned blonde, olive-skinned with black hair, or black skin and black hair.
"The main message we try to put forward through the doll is that what matters is what's inside you, not how you look," said Saadeh, who set up NoorArt Inc. with his wife and a few other investors. Visit their Web site, www.noorart.com for more information.
