Richard Avedon, SFMOMA, until 11/29
Mickalene Thomas, International Center for Photography
As a fashion designer, I always enjoy visiting fashion related museum exhibits. This year I had an opportunity to travel and see four awsome exhibits in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. Isabel Toledo had a beautiful exhibit at The Museum at FIT in NY. Chicago had a historical fashion exhibit, Chic Chicago: Couture Treasures from the Chicago History Museum.
Currently on view Richard Avedon, Fashion Photographer at the SFMOMA in San Francisco. I love Richard Avedon’s fashion photos and SFMOMA is an amazing must see museum. Dress Codes a photography exhibit on view in New York at the International Center for Photography until January 10, 2010, should be seen by everyone interested in fashion and art. I’m really looking forward to checking out the current exhibition at The Museum at FIT, American Beauty on view November 6 – April 10, 2010
Ralph Rucci, American Beauty at the Museum at FIT

I attended the Texas Conference for Women in Houston on Thursday with approximately 6,000 women. The conference closed with actress, playwright, and poet Sarah Jones. Ms. Jones shared her amazing talent and the work she performed in her one woman show Bridge and Tunnel. She is truly an amazing performer and spokesperson for UNICEF speaking out on violence against children.
In regard to fashion, Hewlett-Packard, a conference sponsor included a display of “Fashion meets Technology” in their HP computer exhibit. They displayed the beautiful Vivienne Tam designed computer and matching dress.
The computer goes on sale in December, but the price is still unknown. Check out the interactive website promoting the fashionable computer at http://www.tech-chic.com/. Info on the conference and the upcoming 2009 schedule can be found at http://www.txconferenceforwomen.org/.

For Fashion designers, historians, illustrators, photographers, stylist, and everyone that loves fashion this Vogue book is a “must have” for your library. It includes Vogue’s fabulous covers from 1916 until today with amazing illustrations and photography. Best price is at Amazon.com
From Amazon Editorial Reviews:
“Inventive, glamorous, gorgeous—since the beginning Vogue has set the platinum standard for fashion magazines the world over and has become an icon in its own right. Vogue’s covers sum up the superlative visual ideals of the whole magazine. For the first time, this book brings together in one volume nearly a century of covers both illustrated and photographic. Over 200 stunning images have been selected from an archive of more than 1,500. What sets Vogue’s covers apart is that each is so bold, so beautiful, and so emphatically different. They mark the course of history, chart changing fashions and ideas of beauty, and hold up a mirror to the cultural and social revolutions of the 20th century. Since 1916 Vogue’s covers have celebrated the most striking women of our age, captured by the century’s leading photographers, the greatest artists, and the most inventive fashion. Brilliant, captivating, and full of life, this is the face of the world’s most influential magazine and the original style bible.”
