As I promised I'm back with a travel diary on the wonderful art exhibition that I saw on Monday with my best friend Adrieana. We finally went to go see the Costume Institute China Through the Looking Glass exhibition and guys when I tell you it was so beautiful like that's an understatement everything is fucking magnificent. I have seem a few of the other exhibitions that the Costume Institute has done and this one by far seems to be the biggest one. I was so surprised by how large it was but in a good way because you get to see many aspects of the Chinese culture, it was a very dense exhibition. Although there's a lot of haute couture clothing on display you'll also see costumes, painting , sculptures, films, enchanted statues,and so much more interesting things as well.
Of course it was very crowded but I understand why because all of the gowns on display of definitely pieces of art. Some of the designs that I saw really took my breath away, and many were done by some of the great in couture fashion names like Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Paul Poiret.I loved how the exhibition made me feel like I was a part of something really special and important. So if you live in NYC or plan to come to NYC and you haven't seen this exhibition I recommend you take you butt there to see it because honestly its breathtaking and you won't. I have a few of my favorite looks that I captured on my phone (please excuse the shitty quality) I hope you enjoy this little post . Until next time
