DHM - Fashioning Fashion

Friday, 13th July '12 

I saw quite a few signs around Berlin advertising the "Fashioning Fashion" exhibition at the Deutsches Historiches Museum. Nicole had finally arrived home from Copenhagen and it was one of the last few days before Sarah arrived... so Marlene and Nicole and I decided to go see it.

Nicole met at my place and went on our merry way, planning on meeting Marlene later. We had some food at Potsdamer Platz as some track work ruined every good plan. We took so long getting there and buying food that we could actually eventually meet Marlene and we had a gay old time following the lime green dots on the floor around the "exhibtion". It was just a collection of random paintings, etchings, dolls, etc and I was so disappointed. I really thought it would actually HAVE the dresses... No such luck. Anyway, we still walked around and I found this:

I have never been more greatly confused in my life. Not only was I under the impression that the original was in the Louvre in Paris... but it was hung in some out of the way, random corner in the Museum. I am still confused, google searches have yielded me nothing... and it said here it was the original. I guess I will have to see what's up when I get to Paris!

Anyway, since we had time, we decided to go down the stairs to see another exhibition the DHM had on... and we ran into the ACTUAL exhibition. Where they actually had the clothes and everything! HAHA WTF! We almost never found out, like the party poopers the DHM are, we were not allowed to take photos. But it was super pretty.
