If it is spring in Paris, fashion is an obvious theme, but in the world of art, this means something more sophisticated than a runway at a designer house. Three major Paris museums have riffed on the theme of fashion in a manner reflecting these museums’ style and collections.
Stunning.
I sew my own clothes. The complexity in those garments is staggering.
Also: I’m glad we don’t have to wear those corsets anymore.
I sew as well! I agree. I love the way corsets look but by the end of an hour or so…ouch!
Thank you! If I could I would wear one of those gorgeous gowns everyday! I am drooling over the silk!
In my own small blip on this continuum, the only thing close to this for me was the glam of the 80s. But it seems all down hill since then. Read now and then about people working to keep these various techniques and craftsmanship alive, but think of all the knowledge that died with the practitioner or disappeared. This seems to be a trend with architecture and other forms of fabulous, intricate craftsmanship. I feel like I really missed something. Great piece!
