Once a month there is a huge street party in down town called the art walk. All the galleries, restaurants, & other stores open their doors and there are blocks of food, art, live music, street performers and people walking around. It’s a really fun atmosphere. A must: http://www.downtownartwalk.com/

This amazing vintage style gown is one of my favorites. Even though it’s a modern designer dress it’s still as glamorous. From the exhibit: Addressing Fashion at the Met

Olivier Theyskens (Belgian, b. 1977) for Nina Ricci (French, founded 1932). Evening Dress, spring/summer 2007. Steel gray heat-crinkled silk organza embroidered with linear chain stitch in white silk.

I just stumbled across these amazing photos of an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I’m so sad I missed this exhibit but the Met’s blog photos are stunning & will have to do. It has some amazing pieces of vintage fashion art.  Designer vintage & antique dresses, shoes, and I especially love these vintage 1920’s (almost antique) designer fetish boots. Being an ex vintage fetish model I have an affinity for these well made pieces of art. They’re nothing like the modern garbage you see now at places like the Pleasure Chest or cheap knock off poseur fetish wear stores like Hot Topic. The quality of vintage clothing is so much better than todays clothing.
