Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion @ the Met
This year, the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art presents "Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion," an imaginary conversation between the two iconic Italian designers. The show features approximately 80 designs — from the late 20s to early 50s by Schiaparelli and late 80s to present by Prada. The exhibit runs from May 20, 2012 to August 19, 2012. Considering the monster crowds of late-comers toward the last days of the Alexander McQueen "Savage Beauty" exhibit, you might want to plan early for this visit.
