"Notorious and Notable: 20th Century Women of Style" at the Museum of the City of New York

I think most people are suckers for a great fashion exhibit, especially myself. New York has seen its fair share of great fashion exhibits this summer, from the Brooklyn Museum to the Met, there were some amazing women's fashions on show in the past few months. But the Museum of the City of New York has taken an different spin on their fashion exhibit of the year, first of all, the fabulous outfits are organized by color, not period, and are shown as though walking down a runway. Second, most of the dresses you get to see have been worn by one of New York's fabulous females, from the likes of Jackie O to Lauren Bacall to Barbara Walters.A total of 80 women of New York's society, art, and politics were represented in the fashions shown.

...I think a good stroll in a fantastic fashion exhibit is just as good as a chick flick on a friday night..... check it out if you get the chance!!
