There is an amazing exhibition at The Getty about fashion photography over the last one hundred years. It is called "ICONS OF STYLE: A Century of Fashion Photography." It is a huge exhibition which has more than 150 photographic prints, but there were a handful of mannequins with some of the fashions of the times, and the photographs were displayed in ten-year segments. This classic dress is by Christian Dior from 1948.
Ok, so this is funny, and only readers of my blog will understand the humor. Why was I particularly attracted to this dress? You know the answer - this dress matches my new Vans shoes! I wonder if they have any menswear in this pattern? This dress is by Alexander McQueen, a British designer.
This has to be the strangest fashion photograph I have ever seen. There is a note at the entrance to this gallery warning of a photograph that is a "simulated suicide." The title of this photograph is "Half Prada" and it was produced in 2003. It was based on crime scene photographs found in police archives. I am probably unsophisticated in that I have trouble making sense of this particular photograph.

I like your shoes better than the outfit on the mannequin - the outfit is WAY too busy for my eyes. betsey
