*Ivan Sayers* will play the role of "director" for the evenings 
entertainment, a deluxe historical fashion show, *Putting on the Glitz: 
Hollywood Style, 1916 - 1946*. A noted Canadian fashion historian, he is 
well-known locally for his stellar fashion presentations and witty 
commentary.

Using a cinematic theme, Ivan will highlight the best of 20th century 
glamour and sophistication with a bevy of models re-creating the stylish 
look of 16 stars, from Mary Pickford to Lauren Bacall. As he states,

/"Hollywood connected people to the world of fashion and glamour.
Our show will illustrate the well-dressed lives of the most beautiful, 
the wealthiest women in the world, as seen on the screen."/

1920s

The *Original Costume Museum Society* has been working towards the 
creation of a museum of historic fashion and fabric arts since 1992. 
During that time its members have produced exhibitions at numerous 
museums in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and on Vancouver 
Island. Its members have presented historic fashion shows and 
educational programs about the history of fashion at trade schools, 
colleges, universities, libraries, theatre groups, museums, and a wide 
range of charitable organizations. Its collection of historic fashion, 
ethnic clothing, and flat textiles ranging in date from circa 1800 to 
1985 has grown significantly.
