One of my all-time favorite exhibitions at the Met. Get the book ("Rare Bird of Fashion"), it's so worth it.
The most amazing thing about how Apfel herself put the ensembles together for the exhibit is, everything is from different periods. The coat may be couture from 1962, over a dress from 2001, paired with shoes from 1990, and jewelry from a flea market; but Apfel's vision and style are so strong and consistent, it all works and doesn't seem jarring at all.
She's so cool!
