Event First Thursday in Fashion: From Vintage to Vamp

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Thu, May 1 at 2:23 PM

Tonight at the Art Institute (1122 NW Davis) is the opening of From Vintage to Vamp: 90 Years of Jantzen Swimwear and Advertising, where you can trace the history of bathing suit fashion over nearly 100 years by simply following the advertising art used by the Jantzen company. Sounds like a fine way to keep summoning forth that summer weather…
