DOWNTOWN COSTUME INSTITUTE 1999

"a century of downtown costume (1900 to 1999) "

Jackie 60 and MOTHER's benefit exhibition and spectacle. The show was held at the original MOTHER night club 432 West 14th Street at Washington St NYC to celebrated the creative explosion that was the East Village in the 1980's, and guests really dressed for it, wearing everything from vintage club couture to futurist creations made especially for the night. Every medium available was used to laud and remember the designers and performers that came out of clubs of the period, including Teutonic New Wave diva Klaus Nomi and his eighties offspring at Pyramid, Club 57, The World, and Boybar.
The Event was created by:
DCI and PYRAMID cofounder HATTIE HATHAWAY
DCI cofounder/curator CHI CHI VALENTI
DCI cofounder and Pyramid/Danceteria/Boybar DJ JOHNNY DYNELL
