The summer is almost wrapping up but there’s plenty left to do in the remaining weekends. Here’s what’s on the agenda Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Must See: The Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design
This exhibit at FIDM is all about costume design for television through the ages. Television is such a relatively new media that “through the ages” seems a bit of misnomer. But there were several ages (I guess we’re getting past the reality age now). In any case, this exhibit celebrates costumes and costume design from 1966 to 2006. For our LA readers (the mass of you that send me e-mails about New York only events) this one’s for you.
