Fashion and Antiquity

 I Spent most of today with some fabulous ladies over fifty at the metropolitan Museum of Art viewing the Spring 2012 Fashion collections of someone named Schiaparelli, whom I personally had never heard of and Prada. I never really thought of fashion as being art until I viewed this collection. There truly was a wow factor in these designs and It was amazing to see the similarities between the two designers even though they were decades apart. Although Schiaparelli is a designer from the 1930's, her designs to me are fabulous in any decade. I would wear them. Then we went over to the Egyptian exhibit. Amazing!. I have never been that close to a mummy before. Everything was awe inspiring. All in all a good day.
