Karen Augusta turned me on to a new tv series on Smithsonian Channel called LA Frocks Stars that airs on Thursday night. The show is about a vintage clothing store. Last night the Augusta Auction Company was featured in the season finale. The show will be rebroadcast this week. You can watch a full episode at http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/sn/full-episodes.do Check the website for rebroadcast times.
I like that the show provides educational with brief facts about designers, and fashion terms. Fashion and costume designers and film stars shop at this store. Some of the costumes were worn by past stars. The costume designer for Glee shops frequently for the show at the store. The online episode also features a buying trip to the Vintage Fashion Expo at Santa Monica, CA. Also Karen is having another vintage clothing auction in NYC on Apr. 17th.
