A few weeks ago I went to the Le Musee des Arts Decoratifs and saw a breathtakingly gorgeous Christian Lacroix exhibit. The museum invited Lacroix to create his own collection based on the history of fashion. Lacroix spent months pouring over art history books and then creating his collection.
The result is a colorful take on history with a modern textile twist. There are 1930s boleros, delicate lace frocks, sequined flapper dresses, eccentric wedding gowns, and so much more!
The exhibit is huge - over 100 pieces I would say - and takes up two floors.
I went with a friend and seriously went from piece to piece thinking the next was better than the last. If you are in Paris, go take the time to see this. It is well worth your six euros! And hurry... the exhibit is only here through April 20, 2008!

Hey Ashley,
I'm looking to intern at Glamour this summer and I was wondering if I could e-mail with you to get some advice and hear all about the mag industry -- thanks!

Teresa -
Feel free to e-mail me at aackerso@smu.edu. I just talked to a bunch of the Glamour Girls I interned with last summer and am working on getting a few blogs out about their input of what it is like interning in NYC, etc.
Who are you interning for? I'll try to be as helpful as possible!
