Charles James: "Beyond Fashion"

- May 11, 2014

Last Friday, May 8 / 2014, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City opened a new fashion exhibition - Charles James : Beyond Fashion . This inaugural exhibition of the newly renovated Costume Institute examines the career of the legendary twentieth-century Anglo-American couturier Charles James (1906–1978). The exhibition explores James's design process, focusing on his use of sculptural, scientific, and mathematical approaches to construct revolutionary ball gowns and innovative tailoring that continue to influence designers today.

Welcome to Curiouser New York! I'm so happy you are here. And I hope to see you stay!

After moving to USA more than 25 years ago and having lived in some of the most beautiful American cities, like Washington DC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco (not to mention Paris and Moscow), I finally settled in New York City - the best city in the world (for me!). Fifteen years later - I'm still here.

I've been a writer, correspondent, PR executive, marketing specialist, fashion house executive and even a Hollywood producer personal assistant at some point in my life. I've been happily a graphic designer since 2012, doing digital & print design and illustrating.

When I'm not working, I'm exploring the city of my dreams. Yes - New York City! My hometown. Over and over again, because this city is an ever changing city that is never boring and which never sleeps.

Join me on adventure and some hidden gems that are as alluring to the local as they would be perfect for the visitors.
