The Museum Oscar goes to...

Our friend Missy, from Texas, is in town to attend the 2006-2007 Annual Awards by the U.S. Art Critics Association, in plain words, the Oscars of the Museum Exhibitions.

The ceremony was held on March 17 at the Guggenheim Museum in NY, and two of the awards were awarded to Fashion exhibitions...

As important as it sounds the event, I couldn't find any website that support my words so all I can say is that I have my friend Missy to back up my post!.

Best Architecture or Design Show

- First Place: Poiret; King of Fashion. At The Metropolitan Museum of New York.
Curators: harold Koda & Andrew Bolton

- Second Place: Skin + Bones: Parallel Practices in Fashion & Architecture. At the MOCA in L.A.
Curator: Brooke Hodge

And I can brag about my posting of them both! ;)

hi dear stylish collègue

i'm kamel, from Paris

i quited TV univers to create a street style blog that shows Paris through street style photo romances.
I like to mixe stories and real styles because it's a way for me to humanize fashion.

after 6 months of street style hunting and bloging, Last week, i've been asked if i could create a street style press magazine in Paris for july
i am very glad because it'"s a great challenge and i've never done that before.

ii don't know if you can succed because I hope that everyone could help me
because i'll have to find photos from all over the world
that means creating a network of street style photographers

I'll be glad to switch links with you.
My blog's name is : STYLE AND THE CITY - PARIS

have a look to my photo romances and tell my what you think about.
some stories are translated in english : click the english flag

thank you very much for your new friendship
