The Costume Council of the Chicago History Museum will feature a special presentation by Hal Rubenstein, fashion director, consultant, media personality and author, as he discusses his new book Dressing the Part: Television’s Most Stylish Shows in a conversation with Fern Mallis, creator of New York Fashion Week.
Rubenstein, former executive director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, will explore television’s lasting impact on fashion culture and the closets of everyday Americans. From the 1950s to today, guests will learn the surprising ways our favorite shows have significantly reflected and often shaped the way we dress.
Tickets will include a luncheon at the Women’s Athletic Club (11:30 am - 2 pm, 626 N. Michigan), and a signed copy of Dressing the Part.
Individual Ticket – $125, includes signed book.
