Fashion Council Royal Tea

The FIDM Museum Fashion Council is integral to the day-to-day operation of our institution. Because of the Museum’s commitment to providing free admission, we rely on the group to support important acquisitions for the Permanent Collection – including our latest project, Operation 1804. Fashion Council’s fundraising activities, hands-on volunteer hours, and educational events not only enrich the Collection, but also fulfill the Museum’s mission and benefit our fashion community. In fact, in 2018, Fashion Council members contributed over 4,282 total volunteer hours and raised nearly $209,000 in both financial and in-kind donations. As a non-profit organization, we truly could not exist without their incredible dedication!

Now, it’s time to kick off Fashion Council’s 2019 calendar with one of our favorite events: The Royal Tea! Join us on Friday, March 8 at 12 pm for this highly anticipated annual gathering. Held outside in an elegant tent, the afternoon is a chance to meet new friends who share a love fashion history, enjoy a delicious and proper English tea, and experience two FIDM Museum exhibitions, The Art of Motion Picture Costume Design and Majesty & Mystery: Saving a Napoleonic Court Gown. After presentations from our Curator and Museum Associate, you’ll take a private tour of both exhibitions. All proceeds benefit Operation 1804 and our proposed acquisition of a rare Napoleonic court gown!
