Event
Ebell Vintage Wardrobe Collection Tour
Join the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles for an opportunity to view the vintage wardrobe collection, from the Art Deco Era, donated through the years, to the Los Angeles Ebell. This event is for members only!
Our own Art Deco Society of Los Angeles member Denise Parga, helps curate this collection and will, during each hour long presentation, not only give us an opportunity to view the collection but will explain how the collection is maintained.
The clothing and accessories collection, is a working collection, which means that it is worn and displayed. Such collection consists not only of clothes worn by women of the era but also theatrical costumes from the 20s though the 40s. The Ebell has a number of performance locations within and is identified as the place where Judy Garland was discovered while performing as Baby Frances Gumm in the 1930s.
The Ebell, a private philanthropic organization was founded by women, as a women's club to further education, art and equality, in 1894. It continues that mission today at its present location on Wilshire Blvd. The Ebell, itself a historic gem, has been situated at its current location off of Wilshire Blvd. since 1927 and is generally accessible only to members or attendees of special, by invitation, events. It is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and #250 on the LA Historic-Cultural Monument's list.
ATTENDANCE IS VERY LIMITED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE WARDROBE LAB AND THE NEED TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE COLLECTION. If you are interested in this event, do not hesitate to purchase a ticket immediately!
