Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion
The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibition, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, reactivates our senses with unique tools of artificial intelligence and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes.
Utilizing 220 garments & accessories we are connected to nature in incredible ways (hello wall with flower smells!). I was in awe of all the pieces I saw.
From LOEWE to McQueen & even H&M! I kept gasping everywhere I looked, touched, smelled. It was really something to behold. I also got to experience—via Pepper’s ghost (Disney kids just screamed!) the most beautiful “hobble skirt”. It was gorgeous.
This exhibit ends on September 2nd. I’m happy I worked up the nerve to get to @metmuseum before it left. It's like a tradition now to go every year and also grab the accompanying book.
Turning 30 felt like it was supposed to come with answers.
At least, that's what I thought.
For so long, 30 seemed like this magical age where you were supposed to have everything figured out. You'd know who you were, what you wanted, who you wanted to spend your life with, what your career looked like, and probably have a beautifully decorated apartment and a retirement account while you were at it.
And then I actually turned 30.
Spoiler alert: I did not have everything figured out.
But I did have something arguably better: perspective.
