The Couture Pattern Museum concluded its free showcase at the Tower Event Space in Santa Barbara, coinciding with the 1st Thursday Art Walk. The event attracted a large crowd, including James Galanos enthusiasts, fashion design students, and history buffs. The highlight was a museum-owned James Galanos gown, shown publicly for the first time, featuring intricate beadwork and 100 yards of chiffon. The museum’s digitization and preservation efforts were praised, and visitors were reminded of Galanos’s influence on California fashion and beyond. The museum’s new location at 1525 State Street offers visits by appointment only, with a conservation fee to support digitization initiatives.
