30 Years of Pin-Up: 1927 - 1957

The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles and the Grand Vision Foundation present a unique opportunity to travel back in time to the glamour of yesteryear, with the vintage fashion show: "30 Years of Pin-Up: 1927 - 1957," at the historic Art Deco Warner Grand Theatre
The Fashion Show featured provocative vintage evening, cocktail, lingerie, day dresses, and play and bathing suits from the 1920s - 50s. The show also included some vintage movie costumes previously worn by Ava Gardner, Ginger Rogers, Ann Miller, Esther Williams and Julie Andrews plus many more!

The Warner Grand Theatre is a lavish, art-deco theater opened to the public on January 20, 1931 during the magical decades for films in the 1920s and 1930s. Jack Warner called it "The Castle of Your Dreams." The Warner Grand Theatre was designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca and interior designer A.T. Heinsbergen. Mr. Priteca designed three lavish art-deco palaces which were located in San Pedro, Beverly Hills, and Huntington Park. The Warner Grand is the last of the three original theaters left intact and has been undergoing gradual refurbishment after a thirty-year decline. Priteca later designed Hollywood's famous Pantages Theater.
