An ensemble with a coat of duck featherspainted gold and a skirt of silk tulle embroidered with gold threads.
I went to see the Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. While the clothes were lovely and the exhibit did a good job of explaining the designer’s focus and interests, it was not as good as the Museum’s Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” last year. There is a great review available from The New York Times
