Augusta Auctions to be featured on Smithsonian channel Vintage Fashion hit show: “L.A. Frock Stars”

Tonight, April 11th, the team from Augusta Auction Company will be featured in the season finale of the new hit TV show LA Frock Stars on the Smithsonian Channel.The show premiers at 8PM EST and repeats again at 11PM.

For those who haven’t yet tuned in to this informative show on 20th century fashion  the producers followed Los Angeles vintage expert, Doris Raymond, owner of the vintage clothing store, ‘The Way we Wore,’ as she scours the countryside seeking vintage treasure. This episode, taped at one of our recent specialty auctions, captures the spirit and excitement of our sales – called by our auctioneer and Antiques Roadshow colleague, Leila Dunbar.

If you can’t attend our NYC sale next week in person or have never been to a fashion auction, this episode offers a great behind-the-scenes look at how we stage our sales and how easy it would be  to raise your hand and win a coveted lot. If we will be seeing you next week, this LA Frock Stars episode should get you into the proper mood to bid.

Our fashion and textile auction is rapidly approaching – only a week away on April 17th – and we’re hoping to see you at our NEW auction venue at 160 Central Park West in Manhattan. The sale starts at noon with preview begining at 9AM. If you are unable to attend  the preview and sale on Wednesday, try not to miss the early preview time from 3PM to 7PM on Tuesday April 16th.

While it’s easy to get lost exploring the 2000+ new images in the web catalog  (click the thumbnails to view them all),there is no equal to an up close inspection of these exquisite fabrics and amazing garments while they are all in one location. The regional, vintage and couture garments, fashion accessories and historic textiles from museum collections will find their way to new closets and collections next week.
