For the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of installing historic exhibits throughout the Churchill Downs Mansion, featuring shoes, accessories, and costumes spanning from 1805 to today. Highlights include Tricia Barnstable Brown’s iconic Derby Eve gowns created in Paris, Anita Madden’s themed Derby Eve costumes by Suzy Cheesecake in Las Vegas, and an extraordinary collection of 84 Judith Leiber Swarovski crystal minaudières, each celebrating the artistry, history, and fashion legacy of the Derby!
