A new spin for all you fashionistas/stylists who might be getting sick of just dealing with only last/this/next seasons fashions. The Broklyn Museum has set up a styling site in collaboration with Polyvore to coincide with their exhibition (opening today) American High Style.
After reading the New Yorker piece, I spent a few hours on Polyvore—in awe—realizing the site was a perfect match for our American High Style exhibition, which opens today. I mean, seriously, we’ve got some great stuff in this show…imagine being able to remix dresses by Charles James, Norman Norell, Gilbert Adrian, Charles Frederick Worth, Elsa Schiaparelli, Jeanne Lanvin, Jeanne Paquin, Madeleine Vionnet, and Christian Dior…sounds pretty exciting, right? In typical Brooklyn Museum tech style, we had very little time to put this together, but I figured an e-mail to the folks at Polyvore couldn’t hurt. Turns out, they thought this was a perfect match too and were excited to work with us.
What are you waiting for? Go see if your fashion sense transcends generations and trends. Then send me screen shots, because I’m nosey and want to know what you did!

Wet Sunglasses by Sebastian Szwajczak… View the full series here.
I always like to think that one day I will get some cool sunglasses, but in reality, I don’t like change, and I look pretty kick ass in aviators.

Swedish photographer Therese Aldgard and stylist Lisa Edsalv joined efforts to create a set of almost-too-good-to-eat (almost) cupcakes. The pieces of edible art were inspired by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin and Betsey Johnson.-sarazucker
