The Rodarte: fabulous; the simple early 18th century dresses and underdresses says beautiful, like almost nothing else quite does. The Geoffrey Beene has more glamour than anything you'd ever want to see. for someone like me,85 years old,i remember and wore,adrian,rudi gernreich , beene, karen, and knock offs of some of the others. the show is major nostalgia, (nostalgia: geriatric sex!!)

Houte Couture seems less an expresionof the zietgiest than a expression of the fantasy of the designer. I want fashion to be comfortable, beautiful, enhance the body, movement and the mood as well as enable freedom and joy.

My faves are the Marie Antinette dresses and the 18th century dresses. I also love the thigh hih boots and the remote control dress was totally weird! I also love the Paul Pouiret gown. It is so elegant and sophisticated! Finally, I love the pink pumps! That was a flashback to the 70s! I love this exhibit and I will return with friends!!!!!!!!!

It's so cool and unique. I also adore Tucked in red. The top of it is fabolous!! My other favorite is seam simple. If you cut off the bottom, it could easily be for a figure scater. I love the costumes soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutly LOVE unzipped. It’s so cool and unique. I also adore Tucked in red. The top of it is fabolous!! My other favorite is seam simple.

I agree that everyone can have an opinion of fashion. It's too bad that, "painting and sculpture can seem removed from our understanding." It's about time that people realize today's art can seem incomprehensible only because it has been hijacked by hacks. Oh well, off to the Guggenheim to have my brain melted like grilled cheese.
