LOS ANGELES, CA/September 14, 2010. On October 15, 2010 The Millinery Guild of Southern California will present their Spring 2011 millinery collections titled “Hollywood Legacy” in conjunction with LA’s Fashion Week. The event will take place in the Millennium Biltmore’s Crystal Ballroom, site of the 1942 Oscars, starting at 7:00 PM.

“Hollywood Legacy” will feature members of the guild including Mondo Guerra who is a current contestant on Project Runway. In addition to the Millinery Guilds members showing will include established Millinery designers Anita Hopkins, Louise Green, Ignatius Creegan, Rehn Dudugkian and up and coming designer Gladys Tamez. In addition, a tribute is planned for Mrs.Eloise King – a master milliner who has been teaching designers the art of Couture Millinery for over 40 years in and around Los Angeles. She is also a valued teacher within the Los Angeles School District.

There will be a Silent Auction of Designer Gold Jewelry Piece by Antonella Pellegrini to support The Diva Foundation.

The Millinery Guild of Southern California (http://millineryguildsocal.com) was founded in January of 2010 by S. "Montez" Murphy, who has designed hats for 20 years. The mission of the guild is to foster interest in hats, millinery and hat wearing. This is achieved through lectures, instructional workshops and a variety of classes in all aspects of traditional and contemporary millinery. The guild also sponsors charity events, sales and demonstrations that enable our members to enhance their skills and share their expertise through public sales and exhibits.

The Millinery Guild is proud to have Subaru as the presenting sponsor for this season’s show. Subaru has a commitment to fostering strong relationships with local communities by recognizing non-profit organizations working to better their communities. The guild is honored to have Subaru as a partner as we look forward to featuring the 2011 Legacy during the show. The Legacy holds the highest crash test rating from the NHTSA (five out of five stars).

Reservations are required at http://millineryguildsocal.com. There will be a Cash Bar. Parking is available at the hotel or across the street at Pershing Square
