STYLE SCHEDULE: 2014 NYC FASHION EXHIBITS

The Fitting No. 1 (2007) by James Gobel at the Leslie + Lohman Museum's Queer Threads: Crafting Identity & Community exhibition

Happy Martin Luther King Day! As we commemorate Dr. King's courage, legendary accomplishments and vision, note the importance of "having a dream" and its relevance in the contributions of dreamers who defy the limits of creativity. Take a minute to reflect on fashion's revolutionary focus on jewelry, punk/queer style and non-traditional media in 2013, and have a peek at the roster of NYC (and vicinity) exhibits upcoming in 2014...
