Carnival-inspired fashion and festivities!
New Orleans Fashion Week contacted me about the runway show at the Presbytére “Grand Glam: the Artistry of Carnival in Fashion”. They have asked local designers to include costumes. It is in conjunction with the Exhibit “Grand Illusions: The History and Artistry of Gay Carnival in New Orleans” already on display through December 2020.
Attendees will get an after-hours view of the Exhibit. Tickets are $20/person and $15 for Friends of the Cabildo and Louisiana Museum Foundation Members. Cash Bar available. All proceeds will benefit the museum.
