The crowding of the folks around me did get in the way of my being able to see as much as I wished. Well...just got to return as many times as possible.<br /><br />The vision, the expert tailoring details, the decorative embellishing, the colors, the materials, the inspirations from nature. The exhibit itself, with its lighting, display cases, music...that kinky accessories room really stopped the folks in their tracks today.<br /><br />The Kate Moss hologram could be viewed many times, and then it's grand to see that feathery dress just across the darkened room.<br /><br />Just wish that Mr Mcqueen himself could have been amongst the multitudes at the Met today, seeing how we loved the opportunity to appreciate his creativity.<br /><br />The matching of the tartans in their bias seaming. The wooden planked walls, that line drawing blown up to wallpaper scale. The shoes, the hats, the masks, the feathers, the metal, the water. Well, there's lots to see.<br /><br />Are you planning on seeing the show again? xo<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-85708567548269786272011-05-03T18:32:23.295-04:002011-05-03T18:32:23.295-04:00Your photos are astonishing!
