When it comes to this exhibits, words fail me for this one. I cannot adequately express how wonderfully, visually stimulating this exhibit is. Just go. It is amazing. It is free. It is timely, relevant, and smart. If that isn't incentive enough, here is my stream of consciousness review...
Fred Astaire's custom shoes, the lovely draped geometry of Vionnet, lovely suits, a sweet and lovely hand knitted sweater... beauty at every turn. They even took the time to show a woman's garment that is beautifully menswear inspired, despite its technical flaws. I am so impressed that its value in this exhibit could be appreciated anyway!
Trust me on this one. It is powerful food for thought, particularly in the current US economy, with some historical perspective.
I've been twice and loved it. Yes, Fred Astaire's shoes were a highlight!
