There was lingerie to be seen all over, including these displays which, in keeping with the era, I decided to process in mono with a bit of a vintage effect.
This manikin with the labelling intrigued me. If I recall, it was showing a bustle at the back, but I was focusing on the lettering.
I think my most delightful sighting of the day was seeing this juxtaposition of a modern iPhone against an old calculator/register of sorts. Of course, the phone wasn't part of the display; someone had just left it there.
At the end we were rewarded with treats — cookies shaped and decorated in keeping with the theme.
oh such a cute title for the exhibit!! and those cookies, yay, someone did a GREAT job on those!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! And what a great idea for an exhibition!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great show. I remember wearing the 1950's version of those things. Love the cookies.
ReplyDeleteA fun display! And cookies to boot.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine was a curator or something for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I remember a big exhibit he had of underwear through the centuries. This is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt always reminds me of that one character in Ocean's Eleven (the new one) who has a girlfriend who works at the Unmentionable counter.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies... Yum
You're on an underwear roll!
