Western Costume Company in Los Angeles
Occasionally Threads takes a trip to visit Western Costume Company in Los Angeles, California, to visit their extensive vintage clothing collection. We find great inspiration for articles and can choose from their incredible collection for Threads’ back cover garments. Last week we left blizzarding and blustery Connecticut and flew to 70 degree weather in sunny Hollywood for one such visit.Western Costume is a magic world of its own filled with friendly and gracious guardians who know how to help the people working in the many facets of the entertainment industry pull their acts together. Over the next weeks you’ll see more photos of this year’s adventure, but here are a few photos to get you interested.
Have you ever visited Western Costume? If not, it's worth a trip to see their exciting collection.
Behind the scenes you will find hat makers, dress makers, and here the leather shop.

Fashion and Finance Exhibit at Weisman Museum
INSPIRED BY Fashion and Finance:
Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation
August 28–December 5
The art in this thought-provoking exhibition explores the great impact that fashion, finance, and socioeconomic themes have had on contemporary art. From the recent international financial 
crisis to the media’s fixation on luxury and glamour, these themes have inspired artists to look deep into the heart of today’s society. Chronologically, the exhibition begins with Andy Warhol, the pop artist who redefined the boundaries between media and fine art in the 1960s with his iconic depictions of celebrities and dollar signs. Lesley Dill’s Large Copper Poem Dress (shown at left) is a rusted metal ball gown emblazoned with the poems of the reclusive writer Emily Dickinson. Works by renowned artists Keith Haring, David Hockney, James Rosenquist, and many younger talents help us understand, deconstruct, and critique the global obsession with consumer culture.
Open Tuesday - Sunday, 11 AM to 5 PM, and one hour prior to most performances through intermission. Please call 310.506.4851 for more information. Visit the WEBSITE HERE.
UC Irvine Library Exhibit Examines Hollywood's Influence on Fashion
Putting on the Glitz:
Hollywood’s Influence on Fashion
With a talk by
Lynn Mally
UCI Professor of History
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
5:30 p.m.
Langson Library, UC Irvine
Reception and exhibit viewing to follow immediately
Reservations requested by October 14
The Libraries fall exhibit, Putting on the Glitz: Hollywood’s Influence on Fashion, examines the major influence Hollywood had and continues to have over fashion.
In the early 1930s, European designers realized that a dramatic shift had occurred in the fashion industry. Paris was no longer the fashion capital of the world. With eighty-five million movie tickets being purchased each week, Hollywood had become a potent force, with the ability to reach almost all social classes and spread new fashions quickly. Movies had glamorous stars, huge budgets, and innovative designers all geared toward marketing and selling a trend.
The Libraries exciting new visual exhibit will highlight films and designers from Hollywood’s golden years through the 20th century, all presented within a historical context. The scope of the exhibit demonstrates how the entertainment industry dictates trends and ideologies and acts as a socializing force. Items presented include books, magazines and newspaper articles, images, videos, and movie posters from the Libraries’ collections, and exciting costumes on display from UCI’s drama department. Becky Imamoto, Research Librarian for History, is the curator.
The opening night event will feature a talk by Lynn Mally, UCI Professor of History, followed by a reception and exhibit viewing. Professor Mally teaches classes and gives lectures on fashion history at UCI and in the community. The event is free and open to the public.With a talk by

Secrets of the Silk Road
March 27 - July 25, 2010
Strikingly well-preserved mummies tall in stature and fair in complexion have lain in the parched Tarim Basin of western China for 3,800 years. Wearing Western-influenced textiles and possessing surprising technologies and customs, just who these extraordinary people were is a mystery!
This historic exhibition of 150 objects drawn from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum and the Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology in Urumqi, China reveals surprising details about the people who lived along the ancient Silk Road. For the first time ever, three of the more than 100 Caucasian mummies found and preserved in the western China’s inhospitable desert sands are being presented in the United States. An impressive array of objects are included in the exhibition to represent the full extent of the Silk Road, where lavish goods, technologies and ideas between East and West were adopted and exchanged. http://www.bowers.org/index.php/art/exhibitions_details/35
