Fabulous Museum Exhibits

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

HATS OFF to Mimi Weddell

Mimi Weddell  certainly deserves a hats off from everyone under 100 years old.    At the age of 93 she lives the golden life of a vivacious energetic dancer, actress, model and trendsetter.  Ms Weddell is  an inspiration and a testament that its never too late to reinvent yourself and start again.  Due to the death of her husband she started an acting career at age 65.    To learn more about Ms Weddell and to purchase the DVD check out  www.HatsOffTheMovie.com.
