Reaching back to the Art Nouveau period, with its “greenery yallery” colors, its wild orchid patterns and its wistful decadence — but bouncing that against a previous Art Nouveau revival in the 1970s — this Gucci show had as much depth and variety in the decorative clothes as in the music, which ranged from light romance to grand opera. “Romantic — the 19th century, looking at tapestries, playing with transparency — and a lot of the 1970s,” said an emotional Ms. She might also have added to her definition of an androgynous Bohemia — “clothes not handbags” — for the show was as light on its fetish accessory as it was rich in jewelry.

If only she’d had a blog. Unquestionably, street-style blogs have revolutionized fashion, both in terms of how we view it and how we define it. The fashion vérité on sites like Scott Schuman’s Sartorialist broke ground and inspired countless others, many with highly evolved views of what fashion is or should be. Indeed, with a blog and a little savvy, Maier would not have been on the sidelines, nor would she have been a lone woman finding her footing among a host of male photographers. For all the attention paid to photographers like Mr. This month, as models, buyers and fashion editors descended on New York for Fashion Week, throngs of street-style photographers converged at Lincoln Center and other sites. “It feels relatively gender-even,” said Ms. For Ms.

Schiaparelli and Prada Connected With Women’s Inner Feelings From left: John Phillips//Time Life Pictures, via Getty Images, Michael Birt/Getty Images A new show called, “Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: Impossible Conversations,” looks at the two designers who certainly wouldn't argue. “I always felt she was in love with the key clients she had,” Mr. Bowles mused. That’s a possibility, of course. But a male designer, wanting the same physical type to display his designs, would have said that love had nothing to do with it. Vionnet was one of the pillars of modern fashion, along with Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli — and, yes, a few of the boys — that were set down in the early years of the 20th century, mainly in the ’20s. “After the McQueen show, we really wanted to do an exhibit of women designers,” said Harold Koda, the Met’s chief costume curator, who, with the curator Andrew Bolton, planned the show as an imaginary chat between Schiaparelli and Ms. Well, they certainly picked two of the brainiest.
