The model as muse

Last week I visited The Model as Muse exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 


The exhibition explores the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" focuses on iconic models of the twentieth century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras. 



Each room represents perfectly the atmosphere of each decade, its style, its colors, its music and of course its muses.


The galleries illustrate a model's power to inspire a design, to elevate a garment to a status much larger than life.
