The Witte Museum celebrates Fiesta® San Antonio with Fiesta Vogue: Outfit of the Day, Opening Thursday, March 31st

San Antonio, TX (March 28, 2022) – From couture gowns to eye-catching street styles, Fiesta has left an indelible mark on San Antonio’s fashion scene. Step into a fashion spread and explore the stylish influences behind the royal robes and learn about the Fiesta “look” with iconic street styles. Get your outfit of the day ready, strike a pose and become the next Fiesta Vogue cover model.

The Witte Museum’s annual Fiesta® exhibition will showcase Order of the Alamo Coronation Gowns from different decades and compare how fashion trends at the time influenced their designs. Evening wear from each decade will enhance the couture fashion experience.

Fiesta Street Style

Fiesta fashion is so much more than couture dresses and trains. Everything from flower crowns, flamboyant hats, embroidered Puebla dresses, guayaberas, medals and sashes are seen during Fiesta. Fiesta Vogue invites you to discover where these colorful and creative looks originated and how they influence Fiesta street style today. Fiesta events such as NIOSA and Cornyation have influenced Fiesta street style for decades. Even our beloved San Antonio Spurs have gotten into the Fiesta colors throughout the years.

What is your Fiesta style? Be sure to strike a pose in the Fiesta Vogue: Outfit of the Day photo booth and tag it #FiestaOOTD and create your own coronation gown and train in an interactive, digital experience.

The Witte Museum’s traditional Fiesta medal is inspired by the dress and train worn by Mary Reed, Lady of April Showers in The Court of Mystic Seas, 1954. The train of pastel yellow satin featured jeweled raindrops with gold lace and a parasol and rainbow trimmed with rhinestones. The Witte will also carry a new Fiesta medal, featuring Tyrannosaurus Rex. Both medals can be purchased in the Bolner Family Museum Store.

Fiesta Vogue: Outfit of the Day will be open through July 31, 2022 and is included with general admission.
