BONNET BASH 2024
The Gilded Age
Friday, March 15
8 p.m. - Midnight
Continue celebrating the National Arts Club’s 125th anniversary season at the annual Bonnet Bash with timely interpretations of period headwear in a one-night-only installation by designers of the New York Milliners Guild. Gaze upon prodigious Directoires, grandiloquent Gainsboroughs and other scintillating bonnets set in our own interpretation of the Rosecliff Ballroom and enjoy music and performances bridging the last one and a quarter century.
Dress as if for Mrs. Vanderbilt’s Ball and don your own headdress for a chance to beguile our judges and win the “Most Gilded” (best period hat), “Robber Baron” (most opulent or outrageous), or “Victorian Inventor” (best technical design) award.
The Milliners Guild, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization of US millinery small-business owners, milliners, and students, specializing in handmade headwear and committed to increasing the public profile of millinery. Its members have won international prizes and exhibited nationally at venerable institutions such as FIT, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Arts Club, among others.
