Roberto Capucci Exhibit at Philadelphia Museum of Art

If you are in the Philadelphia area anytime between March and June, you must go visit the Roberto Capucci exhibit: Art into Fashion. The PMA does an amazing job of displaying beautiful fashion works of art. Last year, we viewed Fashion Through The Decades and it was breathtaking!

Roberto Capucci, an italian designer, was known for his exquisite designs full of geometric shapes and sculptures. Most of pieces were inspired by floral shapes and fluted structures. Volume was his friend and he expressed his creativity by using bright colors and delicate fabrics. I admire his work and wish I could see his exhibit in person.

Luxury does not necessarily mean money. One can, perhaps, say that luxury is an art, like painting or sculpture, with its own scheme. To be inspired by art does not mean to imitate it, nor to establish a recognizable connection with it, but almost to fall in love with it. - Roberto Capucci
