In celebration of the Blu-Ray and DVD release of Tim Burton’s
Alice in Wonderland (on DVD and Blu-Ray today!), Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, in partnership with Disney Consumer Products, opened a first-of-its-kind
Alice In Wonderland Exhibition at the galleries of Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising Los Angeles on May 27th.
The exhibition includes Colleen Atwood’s original costume designs from the movie, including Johnny Depp’s original Mad Hatter fighter garment, several of Mia Wasikowska’s Alice dresses and Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen Dress. The exhibit also has the “Edgier Side of Alice” inspired clothing and products by Sue Wong, Tom Binns, Avril Lavigne and by several Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising grads and more.
The night before that the Alice in Wonderland Exhibit opend, they hosted an opening gala with a very couture mindset and naturally with a runway show of
Alice in Wonderland couture.
