Fashion Museum Planning September Fund-Raiser

Irene Kasmer, founder of the Museum of Fashion Designers and Creators (MODAC), has set a date for the museum’s fund-raising gala. The event will be held Sept. 24 at a yet-to-benamed location.

The gala will raise funds to establish the museum, which strives to honor California’s contributions to the international fashion community.

Organizers will present the museum’s Legend Awards to influential figures in the local apparel industry at the event, which also will feature a fashion show, auction and exhibition highlighting Los Angeles designs and designers.

MODAC is the brainchild of longtime designer Kasmer, who has been spearheading the effort to find a permanent location for the museum’s fashion collection.
