Bullocks Wilshire Vintage Fashion Show
On Sunday, June 10th, the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles takes you back in time to the Art Deco era, when Bullocks Wilshire was a leading Los Angeles luxury department store with a vintage fashion show highlighting the many fashions that the well-dressed man or woman might require - from decadent evening attire for a night out at the Coconut Grove (from The Evening Room) to Resort Wear to romp in on Catalina Island (from the Playdeck).
Bullocks Wilshire had a department for everything, including accessories for the pampered pet, from the Doggery. Movie stars flocked to Bullocks Wilshire, such as Mae West, who reportedly had merchandise brought out to her car for inspection and approval, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich to name a few of Hollywood's famous clients of the Art Deco era. The building was completed in 1929 as a luxury department store for owner John G. Bullock. The building is on the National Registry of Historic Places and is Los Angeles Cultural Historic Monument #56. Through the work of preservationists, this incredibly special building is still ours to enjoy!
Following the fashion show featuring both male and female models, there will be a docent-led tour of the famous Bullocks Wilshire Tea Room, Mr. Bullock's private office and dining room, the porte cochere and former perfume hall, among other spaces.
This is an exclusive opportunity to view the interior of a building that is not normally available to the public.
There will be two seatings, a 1:00 PM and a 3:00 PM seating. Art Deco Society of Los Angeles Household members and above may purchase up to TWO tickets at the member price. Individual members may purchase ONE ticket. Our Membership chair will be verifying membership. At this time, there are no tickets on sale for non-members.
Southwestern Law School has brilliantly adaptively re-used the building as their law library - while keeping many features of the interior intact. As with any historic building, on-going restoration is required. This event will raise money for this purpose.
Parking is free in the attached parking lot.
Further details will be added to Facebook and our website as they are confirmed.
