The Event: Costume Museum of Canada opening, Sept. 6
The Place: Costume Museum of Canada, 109 Pacific Avenue
The Cause: The preservation of our history, man!
 Elvis was on the stereo as guests munched on licorice cigars and Tootsie Rolls at the opening of the Costume Museum of Canada’s second exhibit this fall, The Fabulous ’50s, which examined the sometimes turbulent social changes of the era through the prism of the decade’s representative threads. Preceding this was the museum’s official grand opening in July, and following was the Swingin’ ’60s exhibit, which opened Nov. 8.
Missed these salutes to bobby socks and go-go boots? Don’t worry Daddy-O, there are many more fashionable exhibits to come, including a salute to The Little Black Dress (January-March) and the Heights of Style from the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto (April-May). |
