It seems curator from Met is trying to do more fashion designer’s exhibition. They are picked PRADA after Alesander McQueen. It is opened in last week and will goes to untill August.impossible-conversations
It was rainy day. I thought It would be nice to be in the museum. so I went to Met to see the PRADA exhibition. I was not expecting anything fantastic,since I’ve always disappointed the most of exhibitions at Met. but at least I can get something inspiration. An exhibition was disaster to me. there are displaying many of garments with embellishments or beading work. Schiaparelli clothes are 80 years old ,so fabrics are ruined or lost stitches,which is totally understand. they are vintage history pieces.but PRADA clothes are a few years old. I bet they may have many of same pieces in left over from past collection in warehouse. so they could chose best condition pieces or they could fixed it. I saw many of garments had a piece of thread was out. some beading stitches was missing and beads was hanging. some are not ironed. fabrics was waved and wrinkled. some of sandals are way too big for mannequin’s feet,so you see the blank in toe. it’s absolutely doesn’t look nice. they could find a smaller sandals or they could make mannequin’s feet bigger to the sandals. I remember the most of PRADA collection I can recognaise the season and year. There was a dress with nothing special, I even don’t remember the dress. I really didn’t understand why they needed to have this dress in the exhibition. It totally could skipped this dress from exhibition. if dress was good condition might have kept it not necessary. but condition of dress was horrible. the seam on waist was ripped. they could restitched from the inside. that means they may need to take a lining and restitch the dress. it is little work to do. but they can hire the alteration sewer. for professional sewer fixing like it. it will be nothing. not difficult at all. but they fixed from the outside by hand stitches. even hand stitches was horrible bad job. almost like as kid’s first sewing class. level of where the stitches was exactly the same level as an average people eyes. so hard not seen it. when you stand in front of the dress you will hard to miss it. you will definitely see it.
I love PRADA and she is one of my favourite designer. Great design, Great idea, I am not going to say anything “bad” about PRADA. but PRADA is prêt-à-porter (ready to wear) not Hàute Coutúre. The clothes you can afford and you wear in daily. It can not be the pieces at museum. It is not the one dress in the world in history or something.
I would say. this exhibition was almost quality of the store event at PRADA is showing the past collection to celebrating the brand’s history.
