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!
