Dior
Last weekend I got out to see the Denver Art Museum’s special exhibit: Dior: From Paris to the World. Much like with the Star Wars: The Power of Costume exhibit from a couple of years ago, I’m really digging this fashion and clothing as art perspective.
The Dior exhibit had over a hundred gowns, and it was a little overwhelming. There was just so much to look at. Some of the gowns were famous and recognizable (That’s what Jennifer Lawrence was wearing when she tripped at the Oscars!) Also inspiring — I’ve got some ideas. We all talked about which gowns we’d like for ourselves, if we could. We also had conversations about where the line is between fashion and art — you could see the evolution of high fashion from the early, classic looks that you can picture anyone wearing to more recent runway gowns that are clearly not meant to be worn outside of a fashion show.
I also like this modern development where we can take pictures at museums. Cameras have gotten good enough that they don’t need the flash.
Bucket List: Go to a red carpet something someday so I show off in really, really great dress.
