Recently, I had the opportunity to attend an opening gala for the 3rd Annual Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design Exhibition, at the prestigious, Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in downtown Los Angeles. I graduated from FIDM in 1986, so to attend this occasion made me feel like a proud mother.
The exhibit showcased numerous costumes from major designers, such as: The legendary, Mr. Bob Mackie (Cher), Nolan Miller (Dynasty), Roland Sanchez (Lost) and Ret Turner (Tim Conway Show) and many others. As you walk into the exhibit, you are greeted by an amazing dress that Mr. Mackie designed for Angelica Houston to wear on the Red Carpet.
Guest, curator, Mary Rose, President of the Costume Designers Guild, spoke about the costumes on display for the event, which included both new and classic television, such as: Lost, Project Runway, Scrubs, Mad Men, the Tudors, Pushing Daisies, Moonlighting and a host of other shows.
After viewing the exhibit, guest were treated to a relaxing evening on the FIDM courtyard with jazz, food and wine. It was nice to spend an evening enjoying the art of fashion!
The exhibit will be open for viewing until September 28, 2008. For further information, please contact FIDM at (213)624-1200.
