if you happen to be in paris sometime, you should definitely go to musee bourdelle which is one of the cutest museum in paris but if you happen to be there before the 28th of august then you can’t afford to miss the madame gres exhibition. the lady was married to a painter and thought of her work as a designer as sculpting. that’s why putting up this show at the musee bourdelle, is so nice and make so much sense. far from any kind of dusty fashion exhibition that we’re all used to, it seems a must go! interesting article here by pp.
