Out of the Closet

The "Rare Bird of Fashion" exhibit which began at the Met, is now waning at the former Frick mansion in Roslyn which is now the Nassau County Museum of Art.
.
Ninety mannequins wearing octogenarian Iris Apfel's eclectic combinations of clothing and accessories are on display in seven gallery rooms. The outfits and their display are so captivating that it is difficult to enjoy all of them in one day.

The exhibit ends September 23rd. If you can squeeze in the time, you really should make the pilgrimage. It looks to me like Iris is going to be the next Chanel.
