Oh, to be a dress in Betsey Bloomingdale’s closet and to be surrounded by Givenchy, Balmain, YSL, Courreges, Galanos, Valentino–it’s enough to make a fashionista’s head spin!

And now you can catch a glimpse of Betsy Bloomingdale’s wardrobe in the exhibit High Style: Betsy Bloomingdale and Haute Couture which opens this week at the FIDM Museum in downtown Los Angeles. There are over 60 ensembles from this International Best Dressed Hall of Fame icon on display along with photographs and a video documentary featuring some of her favorite designers.

Today’s VPOD features a stunning 1989-90 evening gown from the exhibition–which is a must-see event for a vintage fashionista!

The free exhibition is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm through December 13, 2009. Click here for directions.
