NYC must go see

I have already been contemplating when and how I would manage to sneak away for a little New York get-away, and then I came across the new summer exhibit at the Met. This new discovery has officially put these plans into urgent mode.


The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion, the spring 2009 exhibition organized by The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, explores the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, focusing on iconic fashion models in the latter half of the 20th century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras. The exhibition is on view at the Metropolitan from May 6 through August 9, 2009.

I especially thought of my friends, Natalie and Melanie. They, too, will be hosting garage sales to go and partake of this Fabulous Met Exhibit.
