The Met takes on Manus x Machina
An adventure to The Met is never a disappointment

From the early 20th century to the present time couture has ranged between hand-made and machine technology

Manus Machina (Hand and Machine) exhibits couture pieces that are truly art

The first piece in the exhibit is this remarkable piece by the one and only Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel

That’s a HAND-PAINTED train with hand embroidered perarls, and gemstones

Just take a moment…

The ceiling was even an elaborate ornate inspiration






A fabulous highlight were floral applications
creating a sense of whimsical wonderment




This Lagerfeld piece is a A/W 2004 Wedding ensemble, don’t mind if we do…


Metallics were a huge highlight


Sea life and nature inspired pieces were innovative and creatively inspiring


This was a favorite of mine, can you imagine!?
The perfect formal engagment dinner party dress or rehearsal dinner dress

An all-time favorite- Dior




Lagerfeld, van Herpen, and Saint Laurent feather pieces are out of this world

Pleats took a true art form


Raf Simons for Dior S/S 2015

The iconic Chanel is always identifiable.
