November 7, 2009

For the November meeting of the Dallas Hat Band, we visited Fashion on Main and the Dallas Arts District.


We joined Costume Society of America (CSA) members at UNT's Fashion on Main. The special exhibit was entitled Painting the Town, 1920s High Style. It featured ensembles from the wardrobe of New York designer Regina Kobler and images of her 1923 designs as well as evening attire from the Texas Fashion Collection and the private collect of Caralee Smith.





After the Fashion on Main exhibit, we went to the Nasher Sculpture Center. We had a nice lunch in Cafe Nasher by Wolfgang Puck with some of the CSA members.


We strolled through the outdoor exhbit at the Nasher and then went indoors and looked at the scale models of contemporary architecture around the world designed by prize winning architect Norman Foster.

Although this looks horizontal in the photo, it is actually vertical, reaching towards the sky.


From the Nasher, we walked across the street to the Crow Collection of Asian Art. The exhibit there is Yeohlee: Design for Now.
