So, this exhibit was prevalent with the heritage and tradition surrounding many American Designers, who showed their craft and designs.
Native Fashions and Accessories
A few weeks ago, my Husband took me to an exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many designs throughout the exhibit. Also, there were fashions, jewelry, shoes and accessories spanning the last 50 years. With my love of everything fashion; I felt like a kid in a candy store. Of course, I had a blast photographing the designs, playing with the fabrics and viewing the information displayed.
This exhibit showed Designers making their name in today’s fashion arena. Of course, Isaac Mizrahi’s iconic Totem Pole Dress was shown. In addition, many other Designer styles were showed an Native American vibe.
At the same time, the exhibit featured a good amount of contemporary garments, accessories and footwear. It featured Designers using creative designs. Moreover, there were designs from several Project Runway Contestants. Also, the boots featured below and some of the dresses looked very current. In fact, you would expect to see on the runways and in specialty stores today.
In the last room; there were tables. The table had all kinds of fabrics and fashion words to play with. Additionally, I had a blast grouping the fabrics, labels and photographing them as featured below. Furthermore, I was sorry to leave the exhibit. Now, I have the photographs to remember my enjoyable day learning more about the history.
Between the New Bohemian and Native American trends in fashion; I have seen a lot more fringe styles, beading and embroidery in fashion. Of course, I’ve added green suede fringe booties to my shoe closet this past Fall. In addition, I have many fringe handbags and fringe short skirts that reflect both trends.
