BATON ROUGE, LA.- The Louisiana Art & Science Museum (LASM) is thrilled to announce its upcoming summer exhibition, Threads of Evolution: Engineering a Community That Sparkles, opening to the public on Saturday, July 19, in the museum’s Main 2 Gallery.

This bold, vibrant exhibition explores the dazzling world where engineering meets imagination through the work of Jaime Glas Odom, founder and creative director of the nationally celebrated fashion brand, Queen of Sparkles. A Louisiana native and LSU alumna, Odom began her career as a petroleum engineer before launching her first business to fill the gap in flame-resistant workwear for women. Today, her signature sequin-covered designs are sold in over 1,500 boutiques across the U.S., earning a devoted following for their maximalist flair, joy-filled expression, and empowering spirit.

“This exhibition is not just about fashion. It’s a spark-fueled celebration of confidence, creativity, and change,” said Odom. “Each garment tells a story of growth, strength, and self-expression — a reminder that beauty and purpose can go hand in hand.”

Threads of Evolution invites visitors to experience the journey of Odom’s evolution from engineer to designer. It features a wide range of garments—from gameday glam to jazz inspired couture—each piece a testament to her unique fusion of technical precision and whimsical flair. The show also honors LASM’s own history by showcasing a special 1920s-inspired design collaboration with her husband, Hunter Odom, founder of Second Line Shirts, created in celebration of the museum’s historic train station centennial.

To celebrate the exhibition’s debut, LASM will host “Behind the Seams with Queen of Sparkles” opening reception on Thursday, July 24, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Guests will enjoy an exclusive first look at the collection, mingle in a high-energy atmosphere, and shop the latest Queen of Sparkles merchandise at a pop-up shop curated for the evening.

As a special feature of opening night, guests can submit their own design ideas for a chance to have their concept personally selected and brought to life by the designer, Jaime Glas Odom. The event is open to the public with admission priced at $20 for non-members and $10 for LASM members. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged.

Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast, an engineer at heart, or someone who simply loves a good sparkle, Threads of Evolution offers a fresh, inspiring take on self expression and the power of reinvention.
