The January calendar includes fashion weeks in
Paris and
Berlin as well as the closing of two not-to-be-missed exhibitions about fashion icons including:
 |
| Daphne Guinness |
Daphne Guinness at the Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology ends on January 7th, 2012. Daphne herself was heavily involved in the production of this exhibition. She said "
What draws me to fashion is art...and certainly not fashion as status symbol," and "
This exhibition is done for the benefit of those out there, students or otherwise, who share this love." The show is hauntingly beautiful and many of the ensembles evoke a sense of fragile and fleeting beauty. Daphne uses clothing like armour -- attracting attention in doing so but also putting a physical barrier between herself and the world that hides her real self within these exquisite creations.

| Grace Kelly Engagement |
Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess at the TIFF Lightbox ends on January 22, 2012. Having seen this exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, I recall marveling at the elegance of the gowns on display. Grace Kelly embodied the elegance and restraint of a modern princess.
The
Haute Couture shows in Paris run January 23-26, 2012, beginning with
Versace at 10:30 a.m. on January 23rd and ending with
Valentino on January 25th at 6:30 p.m. The complete schedule can be viewed
here. How I wish I was going... instead I'll be in class (sigh)....
May 2012 bring good things your way....Live with passion and dream big!

Hi Ingrid! It's been quite awhile since I have been a-blogging and eventually I want to try and catch up on some of your previous posts.
Daphne Guinness has always fascinated me and I think her exhibit at FIT would be super interesting to see. Equally interesting (not to mention invigorating) would be to attend fashion week in Paris! Ooooh-la-la!!
I thought of you Christmas morning when I opened a gift from my daughter - Savage Beauty....love, love, love it!
Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
Daphne Guinness is just amazing - I love her way of viewing fashion and always delight in seeing photos of her :) Wish I could see this exhibition. Kx
I was able to visit Daphne's exhibit twice and it was fantastic. New York Fashion Week is on the horizon in February as well. Can't wait!
Happy New Year. :)

Have a wonderfully relaxing weekend Ingrid ~

Great exhibition recap! I didn't realize Daphne Guinness was closing already. I really enjoyed that exhibition; not only are her clothes fantastic and an excellent representation of the best of fashion design over the past two decades, but the layout was beautiful, too. xo style, she wrote
