— Cara Austine-Rademaker
SANTA BARBARA, CA, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After a year of deck repairs due to extensive storm damage, the Couture Pattern Museum has officially reopened for private, curator-led tours by appointment. Located at 1525 State Street, in the Plaza Linda Vista building, just a block and a half from the Arlington Theatre and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the museum offers an intimate look at the art of couture construction and preservation.

The museum has shifted the context of costume and fashion preservation by focusing on the information behind the cloth by preserving the methods, structure, and design thinking, not just the garments themselves.

According to Museum Founder and Curator Cara Austine-Rademaker, “The couture patterns in the museum’s collection offer tremendous educational value and capture the creative and technical processes of fashion, making them an essential resource for future generations.”

Due to limited display space, the current exhibition features key pieces that tell the story of the museum’s founding and mission. Visitors will see garments worn by Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, authentic James Galanos dresses sewn in his Los Angeles atelier, a piece from the estate of Edith Head’s seamstress, and designs by Balenciaga, Madame Grès, Givenchy, and Christian Dior from the 1950s. The exhibit also includes a coronation robe released for Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 coronation, a Jean Dessès gown, and Yves Saint Laurent's Mondrian dress patterns.

Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour and concludes with tea and a French treat served outdoors on the museum’s private patio, overlooking the red-tiled rooftops of downtown Santa Barbara. Entry is complimentary for Founding Members, who may also bring one guest free of charge. Non-member visits are priced at $125 per person.

To extend the experience beyond the physical space, each visitor receives one year of digital access to the museum’s couture pattern archive. Guests also receive a small parting gift and will have their name listed next to a digitized pattern as a sponsor as recognition for their support.

Tours are designed for safety and comfort. Each visit is private, with only the curator and your group. Tea service is outdoors with open airflow throughout the tour.

To schedule a tour, call 805-303-4775, visit www.couturepatternmuseum.com or email contact@couturepatternmuseum.com.

Starting May 14th, audiences can see the film at IFC Theater from May 14–20 with their first two showings featuring Q&As with Maggie Doyne and Jeremy Power Regimbal. Los Angeles will follow with its Special Screening with Q&A on May 28th at Laemmle Noho with Maggie Doyne, Jeremy Power Regimbal and Mark Duplass, followed by a twilight run from 5/30-6/5 at Laemmle Monica. In 2005 after graduating high school, Maggie Doyne embarked on a gap year, where she met Tope Malla, a now grown Nepalese orphan, caring for orphaned children. United in purpose, Maggie and Tope pooled resources to establish a children’s home, women's empowerment program, and school in Nepal. Years later, their relentless efforts led to being honored as a 2015 CNN HERO OF THE YEAR. Just days after the ceremony, Maggie, by then guardian to over fifty Nepalese children, faced the unthinkable upon returning to Nepal, plunging the family into disbelief and despair. After a chance encounter amidst her grief, Maggie allows a filmmaker into her life to document herself, her family, and soon enough, their falling in love. Between the Mountain and the Sky explores resilience, love's impact in loss, and a family's enduring strength to find and rekindle hope in the darkest times. Alongside a team of caregivers, teachers, and community members, she has helped raise nearly 90 children and educate more than 800 students. “For the past eight years, Jeremy has worked to capture the story of our family through his lens,” says Doyne. “I’m so grateful and honored that this documentary will make its way into the world and, hopefully, inspire healing and love for our human family, our children, and our planet.” The festival favorite delivers a powerful, heart-stirring narrative of love, family, resilience through tragedy, and the strength of the human spirit. After its world premiere at the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado, where it won both the Audience Choice Award and Student Choice Award. The documentary has continued its winning streak, earning Best Documentary honors at the Dublin Independent film festival and Jakarta Independent Film Festival, and the Audience Awards at the Naples Film Festival, Sedona International Film Festival, and Port Townsend Film Festival.

J. Scheuring-Wielgus: Napięcia geopolityczne wymagają silniejszego zjednoczenia państw Europy. To lekcja z II wojny światowej

Parlament Europejski podczas specjalnej sesji w Strasburgu uczcił 80. rocznicę zakończenia II wojny światowej. – Jesteśmy zdeterminowani, by stanąć razem i powiedzieć jasno i stanowczo: nigdy więcej – podkreśliła przewodnicząca PE Roberta Metsola. Zarówno kombatanci, których obecność uświetniła uroczystość, jak i europosłowie podkreślali, że projekt utworzenia europejskiej wspólnoty był odpowiedzią na ówczesne zagrożenia dla pokoju, o który nieustannie trzeba wspólnie dbać.

Ochrona środowiska

Budownictwo modułowe coraz popularniejsze w samorządach. Teraz rozwój sektora jest napędzany przez KPO

Rozwój budownictwa modułowego jest coraz bardziej zauważalny w inwestycjach samorządowych. Wpływa na to przede wszystkim szybsze tempo prowadzonych prac w porównaniu z tymi, w których wykorzystywane są tradycyjne technologie budowlane. Istotną kwestią jest również spełnianie warunków środowiskowych, w tym wysoka efektywność energetyczna budynków, która ma wpływ na możliwość uzyskania dofinansowania z Krajowego Planu Odbudowy. Samorządowcy mają już niewiele czasu na finalizację dotowanych inwestycji. Termin upływa 31 sierpnia 2026 roku.
