'Louis Vuitton: The Art of Fashion'
The exhibition is curated by Katie Grand, who has styled Louis Vuitton shows and campaigns for years.
It shows thirty looks that Marc Jacobs created from 1998 to the present.
The clothing is not shown in it`s original runway styling but mixed with new shoes and accessories.
The Mannequins have reproductions of Louis Vuitton Speedy Bags for heads.

Myself within the beautiful designs.
How do I choose just one favorite? I love everything about the show - the purses on the mannequins heads is a whimsical touch. Wish I could be there with you and thank goodness they let you take photos. Around here the museums are so weird.

@Heather: I think the museum`s photography policies depend on the content of the exhibition. This exhibition goes only 2 weeks and features relatively new pieces of high quality, so (flash-)light won`t harm them during the short time.
ReplyDeleteSo much beauty in one place! I wish I could be there!
