Art of Motion Picture Costume Design

10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sat.

919 S. Grand Avenue

Los Angeles, CA 90015

As they say, the tuxedo makes the man. And in James Bond’s case, oh what a tuxedo it is. Check out the costume Daniel Craig wore in Skyfall — cufflinks and all — up close and personal, along with a selection of costumes from some of your favorite movies that came out last year at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. The 21st annual exhibit, honoring costume designers in the film industry, will also feature costumes from The Artist, which won the Oscar for best costume design last year. The event will run until April 27. Admission is free but, needless to say, the dress code is fabulous.
