Goth Fashion exhibition in New York

Gothic: Dark Glamour

I have just found out about a fantastic exhibition at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). I want to go to New York, just for this exhibition.

""The dark glamour of the gothic has made it perversely attractive to many designers," said Dr. Valerie Steele, director of The Museum at FIT and curator of this exhibition. "John Galliano told me that he saw the ‘Gothic girl’ as ‘edgy and cool, vampy and mysterious,’ while Rick Owens said that whenever he saw goth kids, he felt as though they were his children." (taken from the information for the exhibition). I am particularly drawn to the room on Haunted places influenced by Poe's metaphor for a disturbed mind.

My Husband (Oh! how I love him) has been looking over my shoulder at the FIT web site. He is now planning a trip to Boston to visit some friends then we can all go up to New York and the boys can look after the kids while me and my Sister-in-fantastic-shoeness go to the exhibition. I am seriously considering it. (BTW H if you are reading this we have just sunk a bottle of wine after a long week, mail you soon)
