Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations at The Met

” I hate the idea that you shouldn’t wear something just because you are a certain age ” Miucccia Prada.

I went to see this incredible show in NYC and found it very inspiring……It is on till August 19th and I won;d highly recommend it and the book is great too!  From the Met’s website:

The Met’s Spring 2012 Costume Institute exhibition, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations, explores the striking affinities between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, two Italian designers from different eras. Inspired by Miguel Covarrubias’s “Impossible Interviews” for Vanity Fair in the 1930s, the exhibition features orchestrated conversations between these iconic women to suggest new readings of their most innovative work. Iconic ensembles are presented with videos of simulated conversations between Schiaparelli and Prada directed by Baz Luhrmann, focusing on how both women explore similar themes in their work through very different approaches.
