Fashion Show: Paris Collections 2006

"a hit...its beauty deceptively guised in its simplicity."
—The New York Times

This was one of the most innovative exhibits I have ever been to! Too bad that it has past, but I thought that it was worth mentioning since we have been talking and writing about the evolution of art and expression. While some of the pieces were "ready to wear," others pushed the boundaries of fashion and became pieces of art. The craftsmanship was amazing and I was very impressed with the selection and the display as well. They used projection and light to highlight the pieces; you can go to the MFA bookstore and look through one of the books to see the collection.

Fashion Photography
Saturday, November 18, 2006 - Sunday, March 25, 2007

Exploring the realm between art and commerce,
"Fashion Photography" displays expressive poses,
daring couture, and the aura of glamour captured
by the great fashion image-makers of the past
hundred years. Shown here, a classic by Herb Ritts.

Fashion Photography, as we know it has the power to set and change trends, is accessible to the masses through advertisements and is a great example of the power of an image. If you have time this is a small exhibit my favorites are shot my David Lachapelle.
