What Is in the Collection
The capsule includes 14 ready-to-wear styles plus shoes and bags (approx. $48–$498). Key pieces: the knitted tam from the Mary Tyler Moore Show opening credits, navy peacoat, and cropped cigarette pants from the Dick Van Dyke Show era (the same pants CBS once tried to ban).

The Cause Behind the Clothes
Moore lived with Type 1 diabetes for more than four decades. Directing 20% of net sales from a commercially appealing capsule converts cultural nostalgia into research funding for diabetic retinal disease.
