• The Magic of Fabric: Future Beauty | North Shore Art Throb

  My review of the Peabody Essex Museum’s show, Future Beauty.
  QUOTE
  Currently on view at Salem’s Peabody Essex Museum is an exhibition that might just discombobulate you: Future Beauty; Avant-Garde Japanese Fashion. The show consists of almost one hundred garments, gorgeously displayed on a small army of mannequins (a vogue of mannequins?). Augmented by huge screens of runway videos and accompanied by a lavishly illustrated and scholarly catalog, the exhibition pulls together the last thirty years of Japanese avant-garde fashion design.

• Don’t Dress Your Age: Six Inspiring Women Say No to Drab | Senior Planet

  I found this film really inspirational. The common thread between all six women seems to be “keep moving,” which jives nicely with the German saying, “Wer rastet, der rostet” (“s/he who rests, rusts”). Keep moving. The clothes are secondary, it’s not about the fashion, it’s about the dance style.
