With vibrant colors, rich textures, and captivating patterns at every turn, this chic and historic exhibition is a feast for the senses.

The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco presents "Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style," a historically significant display of women's clothing from the 20th and 21st centuries.

"It's the first time the collection has been shown by the museums as a group in more than 30 years," expressed Laura Camerlengo, the Curator-in-Charge of Costume and Textile Arts for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

The exhibition celebrates the museums' permanent collection of high fashion and haute couture with 100 collection highlights along with local loans.

The ultimate goal: Reflect the city's long-standing tradition of self-expression through fashion.

"(The exhibition) looks at focus stories told through objects in our collection," expressed Camerlengo. "We look at personal style and also key moments in fashion history."

Each mannequin was custom built for the garments seen on display, featuring a range of designers, including Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen, Kaisik Wong, Richard Tam, and more.

In partnership with Snap Inc., the company behind Snapchat, visitors can enter the augmented reality portion of the exhibition, try on some of the iconic designs, and take memorable photos.

"It's the first time that this technology has been used in a United States museum," expressed Camerlengo.

She added, "The opportunity for visitors to come in, to virtually try on clothes allows them to write themselves into the larger stories we tell and to have access to the collections in a different way."

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

Grandma Was Right About Potatoes and Onions

Sometimes the most memorable food begins with ingredients so ordinary that their transformation feels almost unfair. Southern Fried Taters and Onions take potatoes, sliced onion, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper and turn them into a skillet full of golden edges, tender centers, and deep savory flavor. As the potatoes cook, some pieces crisp against the hot pan while others remain soft enough to soak up the sweetness released by the onions. That mix of textures is what makes a simple recipe so hard to leave alone. Every serving contains a few crunchy bites, several buttery-soft slices, and caramelized onion tucked between them. No cream sauce, specialty cheese, or expensive meat is required to make the skillet smell like a proper country breakfast or old-fashioned family supper.
