While flipping through the catalogue of the combined Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum's "American Woman" exhibition, I noticed the Jean Yu dress I'd fallen in love with at Albright last summer. I was elated that this design was included, as I've never before heard of Jean Yu or saw any of her designs. I love the contrast between the lady-like ballet pink color and the daringly sexy lingerie details, including the deepest of plunges on the back. Albright continues to amass an unprecedented collection of current and vintage masterpieces with a trusted eye that will no doubt see these garments into Fashion History... I'm just so glad to be a part of it! To see a dress at a museum is one thing, but to feel it in your hands, hold it up in front of a mirror, and gush over it with friends is something else completely. (Thank you again, to the amazing team at Albright!)

(Ed. Note: The Jean Yu dress was included in the Met showing of this Exhibit only... Thank you to my commenter for the correction.)
New to Watch...
We all know I pride myself on being a human cache of all that is fashion! So I was so pleasantly surprised when I came across the Cushnie et Ochs label on the rack of new acquisitions at Albright. The uber female design duo partnered up for their first show in 2009. They are clean, fashion forward designers with a serious understanding of the sexy female figure. The looks from their most recent collection should be exciting to anyone who loves new directions in the way we dress.

Please note that the Jean Yu dress you feature is in the collection of the Museum at FIT and appeared in its 2009 exhibtion and publication by Yale University Press, "American Beauty." It was NOT at the Met or the Brooklyn Museum shows, the latter two of which opened this year.
Thank You for the information!
