Fashion Inspiration/Part 2

We do tons of special sizing in our studio, and recently upgraded our mannequin collection to reflect current shapes and sizes of the female figure, as the way we push and pull our selves, and our diets and exercise regimes, change over time.

So it was interesting to see this show at FIT

The Body: Fashion and Physique

Pretty interesting……corsets for pregnant women? And their daughters? A corset that closed in the front liberated women?

Bustles? Rubber girdles? (I do remember the smell of rubber emanating from my mothers underwear drawer as a young girl!)  Marilyn’s buttocks jiggling? Gasp!

My pics of mostly the fascinating underwear!

On thru May 5th

Fashion Inspiration/Part 1

Items: Is Fashion Modern?

This show wasn’t really making me rush over to Moma for some reason, but I did

catch it a few weeks ago and found it more interesting than I thought. It’s really about

us, and the wearable things that have become staples in our lives, or have had cultural impact.        Here’s a snippet of images…….hurry up, it closes tomorrow!

Inspired

Between work and weather, I have not been able to get out and about. But this week after a trip to the garment center I had time to drop by Moma and caught two shows.

Louise Bourgeois, I have always loved your work.

But this……

Louise Bourgeois: An

Happy New Year!

Hunkered down in the studio today enjoying the east coast experience of “Bomb Cyclone”, which decided to take aim at Suffolk County, LI, where we are.

Our assistant Rose, couldn’t make it in today, but thankfully we have not lost electricity!

Halle is wondering when the studio will get a bit more organized…..that will be when all orders are shipped! Don’t worry, not missing a beat in that department.

If you are dreaming of a new coat on this blustery day, I have just

updated our 2018 show schedule

See you soon!
