My View: Jean Paul Gaultier Exhibit

This past weekend, I went to see the Gaultier exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. I've long been a fan and some of my favorite pieces from over the years were on display. So many fashion memories! The collection was quite extensive and showed his pret a porter, haute couture and costume work. If you are in the area, it's a must see!

Here's a look at some of my shots: 

Blush and black....one of my favorites! 

I remember this knit dress over layers of cream tulle. Stunning!

A chest of drawers made to look like vintage suitcases. Perfect for your lingerie. I want one! 

A Gaultier exhibit is not complete with out THE Madonna suit. Amazing!

...And of course Gaultier stripes! Love how the stripes on this dress turn into strips on the train. 

Magnifique! 

My Projects: Striped Scarf Finished

You may remember when I started this striped Merino wool scarf for my sweet husband earlier this year. I finally finished it!  Look how adorable he is in it.

It didn't come out as great as I would like, but he loves it anyway! I'm still in the learning/beginning phase. One of my resolutions for the new year is to dedicate more time to my projects so I can advance and build up speed. This took me way to long. But here it is, and I'm happy!

Mid-Week Inspiration: Erin Fetherston Fall 2009

Erin Fetherston's shows are always very whimsical and fun. Her Fall 2009 Ready to Wear collection is no exception and many are heralding it as her best show yet. Inspired by toys that come to life, the collection is a sort of Alice in Wonderland meets the Nutcracker. Being a sucker for point d'esprit and stripes I especially loved the pouffy cocktail dress pictured above with matching tights and the red satin mini with striped hose and buckled Mary Janes.
