Fashion Talks: Gilles Mendel
Thursday, February 25th at 7:00pm
Paris-bred Gilles Mendel, heir apparent and head designer of J. Mendel, comes to FIAF to talk about the reinvention of this fifth-generation, family-owned luxury brand. J. Mendel was founded in 1870 in Paris and has been known since then to the world’s fashion elite. A resounding success, the collection demonstrated Mendel’s ability to work in materials ranging from silk chiffon to woolen tweeds, creating refined yet modern designs that have made J. Mendel a red carpet staple and a favorite of stars like Kate Hudson and Demi Moore.

Theater Junkies The Cradle Will RockFriday, February 26th at 8:00pm
This 1937 fierce and riveting musical comedy about the fight of the everyman against the power of corruption has a history as exciting as the musical itself. It was originally a part of the Federal Theatre Project, and was directed by Orson Welles, and produced by John Houseman. When the original production was shut down due to what most believe was an objection to the politics of the piece, the theatre was padlocked and surrounded by armed guards. The artists found a way to perform it despite all obstacles, and what resulted was a great and moving moment in theater history.
