Once again we (those of us living in Los Angeles) get a chance to see costumes from some of the most amazing films of the year. This marks the 10th year that the costumes have been displayed by the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. They have filled the three rooms of their 10,000 square foot Museum Galleries on the Park.

Costumes from 20 movies from 2001 will be on display as well as a retrospective of the last decade of displays. This is a not to be missed event.
