LACMA: JOURNEY OF THE DRESS

I can't help myself. Put me in a room with floor to ceiling hot pink leopard print, and it feels like I've died and gone to heaven. The Journey of a Dress, the new Diane Von Furstenberg exhibition that just opened in the Wilshire May Company Building is a brilliant explosion of pattern and color. I literally took a few hundred photos in less than an hour.

The dresses and patterns are incredible: all 200 of them! I was blown away by the exuberance of color and energy of patterns. The show’s highlight was a central exhibition space filled with wrap variations, short and floor-length, casual and formal, deftly arranged in marching-band formation.There were animal and python prints, Andy Warhol-inspired florals, signature chain-link geometrics. The large scale leopard print and graffiti patterns on the walls left me speechless. Every direction I turned, I took a photo.

To showcase these incredible patterns, I will post everyday this week. Enjoy!
