Event Description: 

William Miller and Déjà Vu Vintage Finery presents a fully accessorized, highly stylized fashion show featuring the glamorous trends of yesteryear.  The runway will come alive with glimpses into the post-World War II era of Dior’s “New Look”. From the swinging, mini-skirted and shift-dressed 1960s, to the sit-in, bell-bottomed, independent movement of the 1970s and even the shoulder-padded, belted, over-the-top 1980s fashions, these three decades of fashion will delight. Think of Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington. All of the clothing and accessories is vintage and many of the featured  pieces are well-known American and European designers.

Staged and directed by William Miller, the show features custom lighting and specially selected music to enhance each period of clothing coming down the runway.  Mr. Miller narrates the show with no attention to detail left overlooked.  His commentary is both informative and entertaining.

Author, collector and authority on vintage jewelry, Matt Burkholz, of Route 66 West in Palm Springs, will provide carefully chosen jewelry pieces to complement each fashion period.  The very humorous Mr. Burkholz will add commentary to the show and act as co-emcee of the event.

Enjoy a no-host bar.
