Role in furthering the NAC Mission

To inspire, delight, and enrich NAC members and guests in all areas of fashion; shining a light on all elements of dress and personal adornment. Fashion Committee events have taken our audiences for a walk on the red carpet, backstage on Broadway, down the world’s runways, and in and out of designer closets. 

If you are a member of The National Arts Club and are interested in joining our working committee, please email us at [email protected].
