NYC 2010 - Fashion Institute of Technology

Seana and I visited the museum at the FIT.  Two exhibits on display:  His & Hers and Japan Fashion Today.  His & Hers is a comparison of men's and women's fashion from the mid-18th century to present day.  Included in the exhibit is a great quote regarding women from an 1865 Harper's Weekly, "it is ever an amusement to contemplate the fanciful and fickle freaks of fashion."   "Fickle freaks" in 1865?

Japan Fashion Today was visually very stimulating (see the photo above with Seana).  There's a lot going on in Japan.

Seana is moving to China in February.  I will miss her, but I am very excited for her.  She will be teaching conversational English to middle school kids.  I am so proud of her.  It takes a lot of courage to move to a "very" foreign country without knowing anyone nor the language.
