Iris Van Herpen
The beauty of having friends coming to town is that they take you to places you might not have thought of going, because there are already so many places/shows/museums to go to.
I wasn’t familiar with designer Iris Van Herpen but my friend Claire suggested the exhibition as it was a rainy day when we were meeting up. Turned out while I didn’t know her name I recognized her gorgeous dresses (and the many celebrities who wore them). Each piece is a work of art… and you wonder how you could even wear any (and seat or do anything besides posing in them).
It was a great visit and another museum (Musée des Arts Décoratifs) I will put on the list of places I need to check their exhibitions from now on.
