Join us on Saturday January 25th for a private, guided tour of the exhibit Fashionista calls “as good as a Willy Wonka factory for fashion buffs,” plus a delicious brunch at UES favorite, Grazie, before the tour.

In Pursuit of Fashion features approximately 80 pieces pulled from one of the most valuable private fashion collections in the world. Collector Sandy Schreier amassed this impressive collection of twentieth-century French and American couture and ready-to-wear, not as a wardrobe, but in appreciation of this form of creative expression.

We will be touring the show with expert guide, Lauren Ebin (who also provided our tour before the CAMP exhibit this past August). Lauren will explain the importance of this collection and show us why Vogue called the exhibit “a remarkable treasury of fashion history.”

All tickets include museum entrance + guided tour. Full experience tickets also include brunch (1 brunch entree + coffee/tea) at Grazie before the tour. This event will be guest-hosted by Courtney Cardini.

Full experience: $85 through 1/18; $95 thereafter
Museum/tour only: $55 through 1/18; $65 thereafter
