carefully worn

i took the ligne 6 to the 15éme 

and was reminded of above ground 

subway trips into the heart of brooklyn.

except this is paris and there is no giant 

kentile floors sign to pass on the way to coney island.

 (maybe all this to say i miss new york?)

(and maybe i'll just say the eiffel tower is a little different than the kentile sign?)

madame grès at the musée bourdelle.

beautiful dresses in a beautiful place.

some of the dresses had obviously been worn,

making them even more intriguing.

there is a brief bio in english about madame grès here.

and i would love to have the exhibiton catalogue.

(first five photos are mine, exhibiton poster here, and portrait here)
