Shop and sip as you step back in time at the Cincinnati Art Museum during Cocktails & Couture, a pop-up that examines history through vintage fashion vignettes and cocktail tastings concocted by Molly Wellmann.
Local boutiques will have items for sale and there will be a high-end vintage fashion show as you take a final look at the Kimono: Refashioning Contemporary Style exhibit, which closes Sept. 15.

The exhibit includes classic Japanese kimonos juxtaposed with modern takes by Asian, European and American designers including Coco Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Rei Kawakubo, Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamamoto, Tom Ford, Iris van Herpen and more.
