Couture Is the Star at FIDM’s Latest Fashion Exhibition
FIDM Museum & Galleries commemorates three decades of fashion design courtesy of socialite and style icon Betsy Bloomingdale in its latest exhibition, “High Style: Betsy Bloomingdale and the Haute Couture.” The collection features a stunning array of designer ensembles, from a feathered silk dress by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel to a lovely Christian Dior gown with hand-dyed silk organza petals.
A 2009 inductee into the Best Dressed Hall of Fame, Bloomingdale is the widow of Bloomingdale’s department store heir, Alfred S. Bloomingdale. A native of Beverly Hills, she is an internationally known socialite whose heralded collection of haute couture pieces has earned her universal respect in the fashion design industry. A friend of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Bloomingdale was an honored guest at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for a fashion exhibition entitled “Nancy Reagan: A First Lady’s Style.” She was also selected to honor well-known fashion designer James Galanos with the Rodeo Drive Style Award in 2007.
