I'm glad to hear that you find the posts informative- that's the best compliment one can give, I think. <br /><br />The Museum at FIT is such a wonderful resource. I love the Met's Costume Institute, but MFIT provides such intimacy. While all clothing may not be art I certainly gravitate to designers who are able to make something purposeful art. <br /><br />Both of those exhibits sound lovely. Please stay tuned- I have an Isabel Toledo post in the works- I'm reading her book and it's lovely. <br /><br />I look forward to taking a look at your blog. <br /><br />Best Wishes!Lindsay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756634487046300517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726508674329469614.post-29653686405763991102012-10-11T15:50:38.401-04:002012-10-11T15:50:38.401-04:00It is so encouraging to know fashion is being eval...It is so encouraging to know fashion is being evaluated and exhibited to the public as the true art it is. <br /><br />Your Un Petit Bijou fashion posts are very informative and it is great that you include links that are such gems! The Daphne Guinness exhibit sounds perfect for those who appreciate and/or create fashion - and to be able to closely-inspect the garments is glorious.<br /><br />This FIT exhibit is one I would enjoy. Although I haven't seen FIT's Isabel Toledo exhibit, I did enjoy the Isabel and Ruben Toldeo exhibit at Savannah College of Art and Design. Awe-inspiring as well was the Fashioning the Object exhibit at Art Institute of Chicago - featuring Bless, Boudicca, and Sandra Backlund.<br /><br />I would welcome your insight and commentary at Toile La La.toile la lahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062461404198265226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726508674329469614.post-85611969119191272692012-09-15T15:01:17.275-04:002012-09-15T15:01:17.275-04:00WLCI FASHION SCHOOL- Thank you!

I wanted there to be more but love being able to see the details- They do such a good job with that.<br /><br />It's such an intimate atmosphere. I live for the Met Costume Institute exhibits, but the McQueen was such a madhouse and compared to FIT you couldn't get that close.<br /><br />I was so thankful that so much McQueen was on display at the Daphne Guinness exhibit. The curators did such a great job. There are still pieces from that exhibit that I dream about.Lindsay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756634487046300517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726508674329469614.post-49379677028734807242012-07-26T08:59:54.925-04:002012-07-26T08:59:54.925-04:00So funny - think I saw this the same weekend as yo...So funny - think I saw this the same weekend as you! I was disappointed there wasn't more.... but I love being able to see everything up close and personal. The detail is so amazing.<br /><br />The intimate atmosphere is better than the Met in a way. <br /><br />I also loved the Daphne Guinness exhibit - such thoughtful curation. I love how it showed her style preferences.Alice Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726631444593912661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726508674329469614.post-9976925414897520532012-07-23T01:33:42.171-04:002012-07-23T01:33:42.171-04:00hope in high heels- It's definitely worth stop...hope in high heels- It's definitely worth stopping in.

London has great fashion exhibits. I've been reading about the Christian Louboutin exhibit a lot- it looks great. I saw a Louboutin exhibit a few years ago and some of the shoes truly boggled the mind. <br /><br />Ah couture- it's so true about the workmanship. I just love seeing things that are made by people who value perfection.Lindsay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756634487046300517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726508674329469614.post-15459447267579404222012-07-18T18:51:13.391-04:002012-07-18T18:51:13.391-04:00I can't imagine the determinations the curator...I can't imagine the determinations the curators had to make.

There's currently a Christian Louboutin exhibition which I would love to go.

The next time you are in New York, you must visit- they do a great job with their programs, exhibits and lectures for the public. It's such a great resource and many people don't realize that it's free. <br /><br />I also think the Valerie Steele along the lines of Sally Singer is just brillant. <br /><br />Balance is important, so it makes me happy that you enjoy it. Being able to see so much and have that knowledge has really shapped what I'm naturally drawn to I think.Lindsay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756634487046300517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726508674329469614.post-60225343489974820792012-07-17T06:16:58.306-04:002012-07-17T06:16:58.306-04:00Such beauty!
