n 2015, the Midtown Atlanta campus of Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) opened SCAD FASH, an opulent 10,000-square-foot museum that has attracted exhibitions featuring some of the most cutting-edge and noteworthy names in fashion design worldwide. The Museum of Fashion + Film kicked off with mannequins wearing coveted clothing by Oscar de la Renta and continues to outdo itself with big-name exhibitions in fashion and film each year, including costumes from “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Black Panther.” SCAD FASH is designed to engage SCAD Atlanta students with archival fashion and film as well as draw in fans of high couture through unmatched, mind-boggling collections of clothing, shoes and accessories. Its films and photography exhibitions provide guests access to some of the most iconic behind-the-scenes views of fashion runways and design houses. From now until April 16, “Robert Fairer Backstage Pass: Dior, Galiano, Jacobs and McQueen” captures the zeitgeist of the turn of the 21st century, drawing from photographer Fairer’s body of work. Also through April 16, guests can experience “Escalate,” a high-concept fashion film in which SCAD alumni designs evoke world-changing social, cultural and political figures in a lush alternate universe. SCAD FASH also brings in fashion historians, designers and filmmakers to speak, so it’s a good idea to request its newsletter or regularly check their website. Enjoy the fashion resource room and media/film lounge when visiting during events.
