First, the Alexander McQueen retrospective at the MET; then Daphne Guinness at the Museum at FIT. And now the world is buzzing for more fashion retrospectives, which is a nice change of pace from their more frown-worthy viewpoints of us. (Insert any starving model joke here.) You get our point…
This year, there’s a lot in store for us as we look over what’s to come from our favorite collaboration, museums and designers. From celebrating “50 Year of the CFDA” to a ball gown exhibit in London, there’s so much to see! You better start making your must-see lists — and travel arrangements.
