As the current Programs Chair for the Western Region of the Costume Society of America, I’m pleased to be able to bring members (and guests) this truely unique opportunity for private tours of two fashion exhibitions at the Getty. Organized by CSA member, friend and all-around dynamo Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell it’s going to be a wopper of a good time. Tickets are limited (and going fast) so register early to avoid being put on the waiting list: Fashion at the Getty: Paris Life & Luxury and Fashion in the Middle Ages Lady Fastening Her Garter (also known as La Toilette), 1742, François Boucher, oil on canvas.

Paul Getty Museum Los Angeles, CA The program includes insider curator-led tours of two fashion related exhibitions at the J. Paul Getty Museum, followed by a gourmet picnic lunch and continued conversation with the curators.

Philosophy Presenting the Seven Liberal Arts to Boethius (detail), attributed to the Coëtivy Master, in the Consolation of Philosophy, about 1460–70 (Via Getty Museum) Fashion in the Middle Ages, explores the figures depicted in illuminated pages of medieval manuscripts, which could be recognized at a glance by the clothing they wore. Participation is limited to 40 participants and I’d suspect that it will fill up fast. It’s open to Costume Society of America Members and non-Members alike, so register soon (deadline July 25)!
