If, indeed, clothes make the man, Gene London has it made in the shade.
His collection of more than 60,000 pieces of Hollywood fashion memorabilia has become a calling as much as a hobby as he preserves not only the articles of clothing, but also the memory of Hollywood's glamorous heyday.
Several of his pieces - many of which have not been previously exhibited - will be on display as part of the Reading Public Library's Cocktails and Classics Fundraiser Friday night at the Doubletree by Hilton.
