“Good Taste/Bad Taste” at the MET

 #SUNDAYFUNDAY at the MET

Iris Apfel and Tavi Gevinson at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a little panel about 

“Good Taste/Bad Taste: The Evolution of Contemporary Chic”.

it was ok. i expected it to be a little better. Apfel was quite funny and Tavi captivated the audience with her eloquence. 

i didn't like how the audience didn't have an open mic in order to ask questions, instead we had to gather around the stage like "zopilotes"

(Nicaraguan Spanish for vultures).

after the panel, I finally visited the “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibit. 

it was revolutionary, rebellious, surreal, and free. i am a fan of Miuccia's work, ideals and thoughts but identified with Schiaparelli's designs. I am 'Waist Up' .

"I try to make women feel more powerful without losing their femininity" - Miuccia Prada

"While the waist down is more basic, more grounded, its' about sex. it's about making love. it's about life. it's about giving birth" - Miuccia Prada

"Many men admire strong women, but they do not love them" - Elsa Schiaparelli
