"Fashion in Colors" at the Cooper-Hewitt on December 23
The "Fashion in Colors" exhibition was organized by the Kyoto Costume Institute in Japan and was all about the way we feel colour and how the colour influences us. The clothes, many of them beautiful, were not organized chronologically or thematically. They took their place in the chic galleries according to their respective slivers of the spectrum. Here the viewers were able to see Victorian-era widows' ensembles and one of Coco Chanel's little black dresses of the 1920s as well as a 1937 Vionnet wedding dress. The exhibition, in fact, does not seem to be full of some significant ideas, so the best idea was to wander through the rooms and admire the lovely clothes, lovingly displayed.
