For the Love of Labels: The Art of Designer Ready-to-Wear....graces Athens!

-Lions and tigers and bears, Oh my! Bill Blass, Coco Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Mariano Fortuny, Claire McCardell, Mary McFadden and others grace your presence and captivate you at this tasteful exhibition.
-These vintage dresses make the evolution of art and fashion translate into the 21st century effortlessly. The handywork and attention to detail would make any woman wearing these garments feel regal.
-I can see Pharell and Justin Timberlake rock this look: Men may not have taken as many risks in the past, but infamous designer Bill Blass allowed men to have fashion freedom even in the 20th century.
-Some styles go in and out of fashion- but this is classic. So beautiful, so chic, it stands the test of time.
-Christian Louboutin and Stuart Weitzman have always made women beautiful, and there is a reason they are still around: they last and will always be in fashion. If it weren't for the price, every woman deserves a pair.
