ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS & SCIENCES
AND THE FIDM MUSEUM & GALLERIES PRESENT
ATTIRE THAT SHAPE OUR VIEWS
Third Annual Exhibition Salutes the Past and Present of Television Costumes
and Celebrates 2007-2008 Emmy® Nominees
LOS ANGELES, California (June 30, 2008)
We doubt we’d sit through the soapfest “Gossip Girls” or the flick SATC, if it wasn’t for the fashion. Granted, the looks adorning the actors are RTW and couture selections, but the styling sets the mood and makes the inane plots tolerable.
So we urge Left Coasters to check out the free exhibition put on by The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the FIDM Museum & Galleries at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising titled "The Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design.”
This show features over 100 sketches and designs of some of the tv screen’s most memorable costume designs. And guest curator, TV costume design veteran Mary Rose particularly focused on selections from this year's Emmy-nominated costume designers and costume supervisors…like “Pushing Daisies" Costume Designer Robert Blackman, “Mad Men” designer Jenny Katharine Bryant of “Deadwood” fame, “Lost” designer Roland Sanchez, “Dirty Sexy Money” designer Roberta Haze, “Moonlight” designer Salvador Perez, “Greek” designer Mandi Line, “Dexter” designer Abram Waterhouse, “Scrubs” designer Carey Bennett, and for mini-series, HBO’s “John Adams” costume designer Donna Zakowska, and the glorious pic “Barnard and Doris” with we'd wear looks by Joseph Aulisi.
Plus-Project Runway finalist-Season 4, drape master and LA resident Rami Kashou has a few looks in the show.
WHERE: In downtown Los Angeles, at the FIDM Museum & Galleries at FIDM/The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.
The exhibit is on view July 29, 2008 through September 28, 2008.
