Here are a few of the dresses on display. |
Yesterday, I happened to be in San Fransisco with my family and we decided to go see an exhibit that my grandmother had been talking about for a while. This A-mazing exhibit was at the Legion of Honor in SF, titled Pulp Fashion. In it, there were fantastic dresses starting from the 1600's, I believe, and through to the 1900's. But this was what made them so extraordinary; They were all entirely made of paper! Intricate gowns had been replicated from famous paintings into 3-D paper masterpieces. The artist's name is Isabelle de Borchgrave. There is also another exhibit at the Legion of Honor focusing on Spanish fashion. Unfortunately, I didn't get to check that one out, so I can't really say much about it other than it does end July 4, 2011. It is called Balenciaga and Spain. I do, 100% recommend The Pulp Fashion to any age interested in clothing or fashion. But get there soon, because it does end June 5, 2011!
Oooh I've read about Pulp Fashion! how cool you got to see it in person! :)
