What happens to Fiesta royalty formal wear after the party ends? Some go to the Witte Museum.
An ensemble worn by the Queen of the San Antonio Charro Association from 1996 to 1998 is shown alongside the coronation robes worn bythe 1958 Duchess of Ancient Dynasties in the 1958 Coronation of the Queen of the Order of the Alamo. The clothing is part of"Fiesta: A World of Inspiration," currently on display at the Witte Museum.
“When you come into the exhibit, it’s like you’re entering Witte Airways and waiting for your international departure.” The museum borrows items for the exhibit each year, and sometime, lenders end up donating those pieces to the Witte. The foundation of the exhibit each year is the collection. Formal wear worn by El Rey Feo XXXV in 1982 is displayed alongside the coronation robes for the 2015 Duchess of Gracious Style. The clothing can be seen in"Fiesta A World of Inspiration," currently on display at the Witte Museum.“We have about 270 coronation robes,” said Ochoa, who said ideas are already being kicked around for the 2024 exhibit. “That includes the duchesses as well as presidents' robes, page costumes and lord high chamberlains.
The oldest pieces in the collection — a page costume and a duke costume — are from 1909, the year the Order of the Alamo was founded. The oldest gown is a duchess ensemble from 1910.
