The term "fairy tale" is often used to describe clothing that is especially lavish, beautiful, and seemingly unattainable... Each of the 15 tales included in Fairy Tale Fashion, ... was selected for its direct references to clothing or its mention of recurring motifs, such as blonde hair or red roses.
- Colleen Hill, curator
Today I went to the FIT Museum specifically to experience...
This was a wildly creative exhibit, showcasing the work of many designers I have long admired, and the pieces were just breathtaking. On view until April 16, 2016, and I suggest you visit.
Photography is allowed in this exhibit, and I will share some of my personal photos with you, just to share a taste of how wonderful it all was/is.

And the piece that stole my heart...

| Red Riding Hood - Comme de Garcons (Rei Kawakubo) - Spring 2015 |
While there, I decided to check out the other exhibit (upstairs), which was far more fascinating than I ever would have imagined...
If you'd like to see the exhibit with a group, you might want to check my friend Peter's blog for meet-up information...
Stay tuned for the next post...
