American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity...

...at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

For those of you who will visit NYC in this summer or those who are already there, you can't skip this exhibition. 

The MET has set a marvellous exhibition on American women fashion from the end of the 19th century 'til the end last century. I was just delighted as has been everyone I know that has already visited. 

Please note the settings for each decade, together with the hairdressing. Not to mention the dresses, of course...

 I just fell in love with the first black dress on the left.

And those from the 20s-50s are just gorgeous...

By the way, the exhibition is split in wo parts, and the rest of it is at the Brooklyn Museum under the name: 

American High Style: Fashioning a National Collection

I know it's quite far from the centre but you can take Line (red) 2 or 3 until Brooklyn Museum-Botanic Garden and you get at the door. Also, there you will find and exhibition on Andy Warhol last decade and the permament collection. 

Hope you have the chance to enjoy it.
