Art Class - Reawakening Fashion

 

The Met Gala is tonight, so we'll check the red carpet tomorrow.

The exhibit is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" and the dress code is "The Garden of Time."

The latter is the title of a short story by JG Ballard.

The museum is showing many pieces that have never been displayed, as some are too fragile to hang.  So they will lie in glass cases instead.

Alexander McQueen, 2011

Charles James, 1955

Christian Dior, 1953

Schiaparelli, 1939

Charles Frederick Worth, 1887

British jacket, 1615

Elizabeth Debicki has posed in some of the newer pieces, such as this Iris van Herpen from 2020.
