It has been a while since I left the United States, so I suppose this blog is beginning to turn into a New York blog. The last time I went to the MOMA was for the Alexander McQueen exhibit, which to this day is still one of my favorite exhibits of all time. I saw the Yves St. Laurent exhibit in San Francisco and the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit in Brooklyn and couldn't quite remember them, though I do remember enjoying them. That's how I feel about this most recent exhibit at the MOMA for Charles James at the new Anna Wintour Costume Center in MOMA. I liked it, but now can't quite remember it. Perhaps it's because some of the clothing related exhibits make me feel like I'm in a very high end boutique, so in my memory it become akin to a shopping (more like window shopping) experience. The McQueen exhibit however, was in a world of its own. I remember those dresses distinctly, as well as the hologram of Kate Moss. I am however, excited that there will probably be more exhibits featuring fashion design at the MOMA with this new Costume Center.
A few new central park discoveries along the way:
