If you live in New York you might be interested in checking out The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The exhibition explores the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, it focuses on iconic models of the twentieth century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras. The exhibition, organized by historical period from 1947 to 1997, will feature haute couture and ready-to-wear masterworks accompanied by fashion photography and video footage of models who epitomized their epochs.
