This week Sophie and I are spending Spring Break in New York City. (Where I lived and worked in the fashion industry.) Sophie has been working as a sound technician in theater at her high school, so we are taking in a backstage tour of the Metropolitan Opera, and we’ll make our usual visit to the Metropolitan Art Museum. I visited one of my favorite trim shops in the garment district, and ordered some Frida-Kahlo-worthy floral embroidery appliques which I’ll have online next week. We’ve seen lots of ladies on the street with big applique and embroidery embellishments all over their coats and pants, which we want to duplicate when we get home.
If you read the NY Times, you might have seen an article about the 1950s Coney Island version of Mozart’s Cosi fan Tutte at the Met Opera. Last night we were at the opera, and they were filming this HD performance. It was so fascinating to see all the cameras around the opera house. It looks like it will be broadcast in theaters this Sat March 31. The costumes and sets are so creative and colorful…and there was a Burmese Python on stage for awhile!
Fortunately I think the weekly dump of Nor’Easter storms and snow is finished, so we’ll just be dealing with rain this week. I love being in NYC when it rains, because all the colorful lights and neon signs reflect on the wet streets at night and it makes for great photos.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
