The Face of Genius

There's no more accurate way to describe M. St. Laurent. The man was a visionary.

I was struck with melancholy-tinged pleasure as I wandered from piece to amazing piece (the Mondrians, the Picassos, the Russian collection, Nan Kempner's burgundy wool jumpsuit in size minus 2, extra tall). As other bloggers have mentioned, it's not a vast show. But there's not an inch of wasted space.

My daughter particularly enjoyed an embellished, beaded wedding garment with the writing "Say You'll Love Me Forever".

I got two photos before the security person advised that it was "illegal" to snap shots. Fair enough. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.*
