Scheller

EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 21!

This Scheller Gallery show transported you to the vibrant era of prohibition, speakeasies, and the wild and carefree Charleston. Fabulous Flappers: Fashion from the Ellie Laubner Collection addressed our fascination with the 1920s. This retrospective exhibit included exquisite evening gowns draped in beads, silky-soft lingerie, elegant embroidered shawls, and authentic bridal wear adorned with wax orange blossoms.

Marvel at Art Deco–style accessories such as dangling handbags, perky cloches, sequined shoes, and fantastic cigarette cases. Men are represented with sportswear, including knickers, letter sweaters, and swimwear. This exhibit was guaranteed to inform as well as entertain. A roaring good time!
