AN EXHIBIT NOT TO MISS
The Museum of FIT, New York City - Fashioning Wonder: A Cabinet of Curiosities provides the first in-depth exploration of the fascinating connections between cabinets of curiosities and fashion. Also known as wunderkammern in German, cabinets of curiosities can be traced back to the early 16th century. They were precursors to the modern museum, and many included examples of clothing. The exhibition features nearly 200 garments and accessories, almost exclusively selected from MFIT's permanent collection, which are inspired by the breadth of objects collected within the cabinets.
Opens February 19, 2025. Runs through April 20, 2025*** A NEW OLD WAY TO KEEP YOUR HEAD WARMBonnets are the go-to hat for this winter! (How vintage!).
Knitting your own is one step better! I still have the ones knitted by my grandma for my babies!
See how @Atelierstovar styled hers with a super darling 1940s look!
Our version is less baby bonnet and more mod! It's a 60s Peck &Peck in brown wool!
***THE COLOR AU COURANT 2025 has been pronounced the year of beige. Hmmm. Here is one take on the trend: The Sad Beige Aesthetic . I will admit, though I prefer bold colors and striking prints, there is a calming "disappear into the background" mood that can be interesting. Here are two from my current collection that I am loving.   And since we are talking suits, check out Gem's article, Five Trends to Shop Secondhand This Spring, which features another great pant suit from my shop. And, yes, those pink shoes ARE available!  Pantone voted Mocha Mousse the color of the year - beige's older, saucier, second cousin. As exemplified in this early 2000s Michael Kors dress from my collection.  **** FASHION WORLD'S FIRST LOSS OF THE YEAR
 Goodbye to Missoni founder Rosita Missoni who died at age 93 on January 2nd. Many of you know Missoni as the Italian innovator and purveyor of colorful knitwear favoring zig-zag patterns, since the 1960s. Older Missoni pieces are not easy to find, so I have only had a few come through my shop. A small retrospective -  80s sweater worn by Megan back in 2016 (at right), juxtaposed with a Missoni print ad (at left).  Velvet scarf in burgundy red and black zig-zag pattern (sold 2023)  Silkprint scarf in multicolore print (sold 2024)  Silkprint scarf with fractal diamond design. Available!
