~Orientalism~

The spring collections were full of references to the orientalism of the 1920's, Marc Jacobs in particular making light of the gaudy way in which the West imitates Eastern cuture. For a more traditional exploration of oriental craftmanship, a new exhibition called L'Orient des Femmes has opened yesterday at Le musée du quai Branly. The exhibition is currated by Christian Lacroix pays homage to the style and craftsmanship of the clothing of oriental women. I can imagine its well worth a visit!
