The night was inspired by their two fashion exhibitions on display, Dress Matters: Clothing as Metaphor and Desert Dweller. Alba Rojas-Sukkar, TMA’s chief development officer, said they wanted to give people a chance to see the exhibition if they had not already done so. The Desert Dweller made its debut to TMA on October 21, 2017, and wrapped its run this run this weekend.
The cocktail lounge theme was designed to create a relaxed atmosphere for the guests while they explored the exhibition, according to Rojas-Sukkar. The laid-back environment gave visitors the opportunity to drink, eat and mingle.
