Edgington Studio's 2023 Oglebay Institute’s Holidays at the Mansion
For the 2023 holiday season, Edgington Studio partnered once again with The Jeweled Bird to create a festive display for Oglebay Institute's Holidays at the Mansion. This year's exhibit, "Romance Begins on Market Street," celebrated a century of craftsmanship by honoring The Jeweled Bird's 100th anniversary while capturing the elegance and charm of Wheeling's rich history.
Inspired by the timeless romance of downtown Market Street, the display featured original womenswear designs by Edgington Studio alongside authentic vintage garments, sparkling jewelry, and carefully curated décor that transported visitors to a bygone era. Every detail was thoughtfully selected to tell a story of fashion, tradition, and local heritage, creating an immersive experience for guests touring the Oglebay Mansion Museum during the holiday season.
Collaborating on this annual tradition continues to be a rewarding opportunity to celebrate creativity, support fellow local businesses, and contribute to one of the Ohio Valley's most beloved holiday events.
