Museum Style: Isabel Toledo and Robin Givhan at the Corcoran

Go, please.

What: Roots of Style with Isabel Toledo

Where: The Corcoran Gallery of Art North Atrium and Auditorium

When: Thursday, 14 June, 6:30 Reception + book sale and signing, 7:45 Discussion

Why: Because Robin Givhan's going to lead the discussion with Ms. Toledo, one of the, as the event notes say, "most celebrated independent fashion designers of our time." I could write something else, except that it's true. She is.

Cost: from free to $35.00, here.

I'd buy my ticket now, but this is the day H and I pack The Beans up in our Swagger Wagon and drive north down tha shore for 2 weeks. So watch Rosa Loves... for a post on the evening. She's the one who alerted me (how'd I miss it?!), so I'm sure she'll capture the night with her lovely images and share. Or at least now that I've written that, I hope she will.

Just another one of the amazing events with The Fashion Group International, like the one on Yves Saint Laurent, Classicism and Transgression I missed.

Style Intellectual: Yves Saint Laurent, Classicism and Transgression

More smartypants peeks into the fashion world. What do they think we are here in DC? A city of intellectuals who have more degrees than one could ever need?


What: A talk titled "Yves Saint Laurent, Classicism and Transgression"
When: Friday, October 14, 7:00pm
WhereAlliance Française 2142 Wyoming Ave, NW, Washington
Why: Because the curator of contemporary creation at the Musée Galliera in Paris, Laurent Cotta, is speaking. And it's YSL. And we like to think about things like the influence of classicism and seduction on designs.
