First Paris and now NYC... Anyone want to pack me up in their carry-on and trot around the globe to peruse fashion exhibits?! Takers???
Tonight was the MET's Annual Costume Institute Gala. This year the exhibit is entitled "Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" and focuses on how social changes have defined our culture's view of feminine beauty which have been personified by the figures and faces of iconic models. "Model to Muse" specifically captures the progression of these changes over a span of five decades from 1947-1997. Magazine covers, various photographs and garments made famous by the models who strutted down the catwalk will be on display to characterize these diverse time periods and the constant evolution of beauty. The exhibit opened today and runs till August 9, 2009.
