Installation view Photo: Jewish Museum, NYNew YorkThere she is, in an early ’40s photograph that fills an entire wall—a young woman facing into an Egyptian wind, her eyes narrowed, her dark hair blowing behind her. And there she is again, filling another wall, but this time lying on the ground in a desert near Alexandria, head turned away and eyes closed. Gaby Aghion (née Hanoka) loved the desert and the beach. She loved sand—its shifting, flowing habit; its colors cream and white, tan and taupe, beiges inflected with pink, peach and gray.

☆ ‘Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style’ Review: From Gritty to Gucci
  + stars: | 2023-02-19 | by ( Laura Jacobs | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
New York‘And I walk down the street and bop to the beat / With Lee on my leg and Adidas on my feet.” In 1986, Run-DMC released “My Adidas,” a love song to those sneakers. Not only was it a big hit but it won the rap group a million-dollar endorsement deal, a first in the world of hip-hop. Walk into any high-end shoe salon and half the real estate in the room belongs to designer sneakers: high-tops and low-tops, platformed, blingy and logoed. The subculture of hip-hop—which takes in MCs, DJs, VJs, break dancers, rappers and “aerosol” artists—is now thoroughly mainstream. “Fresh, Fly and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style” at the Museum at FIT shows how.
☆ ‘Designing Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors’ Review: An Exhibit of Homes in High Style
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Laura Jacobs | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
New YorkFashion designers love the jump from homo sapiens to home, which liberates them from necklines, hemlines, and everything in between. One thinks of the über-modernist Halston, the floors and furniture in his Paul Rudolph townhouse sheathed in lean industrial gray, flocks of white orchids sailing in the stillness. Or of the changeless Bill Blass , the masculine classicism of his poised Sutton Place living room an escape from the WASP shmattes demanded by his East Side clientele. Or of the quixotic Karl Lagerfeld , chasing one period vision after another through serial homes decorated to the nth degree, costly statements of style that bored him once done. These postwar men were actually following in female footsteps.
☆ ‘Threads of Power: Lace From the Textilmuseum St. Gallen’ Review: Webs of Influence
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Laura Jacobs | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
New YorkHave you ever pondered the ruff? That snowy circular collar made of starched cambric, fluted and trimmed with lace? During the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras ruffs appeared endlessly in painted portraits, a sort of rose window rendered with Euclidean precision under noble chins. Also called a “millstone collar,” it served up the distinguished head on a pristine plate. To see an actual 17th-century ruff is a treat, and at the Bard Graduate Center it is just one of many wonders.
☆ ‘Generation Paper: A Fashion Phenom of the 1960s’ Review: A Wear-and-Tear Fad
  + stars: | 1967-03-31 | by ( Laura Jacobs | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Installation view of ‘Generation Paper: A Fashion Phenom of the 1960s’ Photo: Jenna BascomNew York‘Watch disposables become indispensable!” declared Women’s Wear Daily on March 31, 1967. The fashion-industry rag was trumpeting a new textile on the horizon—paper—during a decade that was witnessing a race to the moon, mind-expanding drugs and marches for racial equality. For baby boomers in first blossom, the future was about freedom, a hope that is often expressed through fashion. What could be more egalitarian and carefree than clothing made of paper?
