I spent a lovely afternoon at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts today. While I enjoy what most people consider art, in my world, fashion is art. Especially at the hands of Richard Avedon and Arnold Scaasi.
Richard Avedon's photographs graced the covers and pages of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue from the 1940s through to the 1980s.

Arnold Scaasi, an American couturier, designed custom made gowns for the New York ladies that lunch set as well as Barbra Streisand and several first ladies.

I have been meaning to go to this for weeks! I came so close today, but the head of the Charles won out.
