Featuring over 40 garments by Escada, John Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Todd Oldham, Oscar de la Renta, Versace, and Vera Wang, to name a few, the exhibit celebrated the designers, models, artists, and celebrities who made the 90s an iconic decade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE STYLE:<\/strong> Patrons posed in front of a 90s inspired graffiti wall designed by artist Elizabeth Carrington before they made their way inside the museum as the festivities commenced. The cocktail hour was held in the venue\u2019s courtyard where guests enjoyed a raw seafood bar and were entertained by break-dancers and DJ Sara Jessop, who played popular 90s hits.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The dinner tables were strategically placed in the <em>Fashion Nirvana<\/em> exhibition and museum lobby. The committee did an amazing job with d\u00e9cor\u2013minimal and elegant, which let talented David Garcia with Statue of Design create stunning ombre centerpieces, including clouds made entirely of baby\u2019s breath. Don Strange of Texas treated guests to a sumptuously catered dinner of Asian inspired cuisine. During the meal, everyone showed their appreciation by funding over 140 field trips to the museum. After dinner, guests made their way to the after party for dancing led by the band Finding Friday and enjoyed 90s inspired snacks as well as a boozy inspired Capri Sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE PURPOSE:<\/strong> Corinna and J.B.
