The exhibit we saw featured
Iris van Herpen, a Dutch designer. The title of the show is "Transforming Fashion". To learn more about her, click on her name to go to her website. And transforming fashion it was!!! Very bizarre...very unusual materials used...and very uncomfortable looking!! Here are a few pictures from the show.

This looks like something the "Mother of Dragons" might wear.
("Game of Thrones" fans will get the reference!) |
After we saw the exhibit we went for a leisurely lunch at the restaurant Lark on the Park right across the freeway from the DMA. I had not been in that area so was curious to see the park built over the freeway...wonderful concept!

There are food trucks lined up along the street; and tables and chairs placed around under the trees. We ate inside the Lark, but if the weather were cooler, that would be a fun place to spend some time.
It is a spectacular endeavor. Click on the name for a link to more information of how it was developed and built. I was very impressed!!
I can't imagine anyone wearing those outfits in public. But they are interesting. I like the alien looking one.
ReplyDeleteNo, I can't imagine either. You would never be able to sit down in many of them!
