Back in 2009, I interviewed curator Christina Johnson of the FIDM Museum<\/a> for Wornthrough<\/a> – and she gave readers a brief glimpse the Fabulous<\/em> exhibition (that was then in the planning stages).<\/p>\n

Two years later, and now as as Programs Chair for the Western Region of Costume Society<\/a>, I’m thrilled to say that we have a very special behind-the-scenes tour to offer members and non-members alike.<\/p>\n

To be held November 19<\/strong>, FABULOUS! Ten Years of FIDM Museum Acquisitions, 2000-2010<\/em><\/a>, the exhibition includes 175 donated and purchased garments and accessories worn by women, men, and children spanning 1800 to 2010.<\/p>\n

FABULOUS! highlights include: a luxurious embroidered court suit worn by composer Johann Hummel, a Redfern court gown with regulation eleven-foot-long train (see above), and a museum-commissioned lace peacock motif Alexander McQueen couture gown (pictured at left), among others.<\/p>\n

The CSA special program includes both illustrated presentations by curatorial staff as well as a tour. Highlights include an inside look at the Fabulous!<\/em> exhibition planning process by curator Kevin Jones and a close-up analysis of the Madame Olympe gown by Danielle Killam, assistant registrar.<\/p>\n

Happily, there is still space for those interested. Simply download the flyer and mail it in with your check (The deadline for registering is November 11<\/strong>) . I hope I’ll see you there!<\/p>\n
