Pinch me now, my dream has come true!
Cameo Girl TV is moving in great leaps and bounds and we are here to share our growth with you!!
We were so excited to be asked to cover the red carpet event at The Metropolitan Museum or Art! The grand opening of Anna Wintour Costume Center. This red carpet ribbon cutting ceremony was celebrating the great Couturier Charles James, his exhibit happening now until August 10th is titled "Beyond Fashion" 
The main exhibit is on the first floor of The Met and is a sight to see! 
As you approach this most elegant exhibit you start to feel the ambiance of the dark room.  Strategically every ball gown was lit ever so dramatically and accompanied with a robotic arm scanning the gown and showing how the gown was made and engineered mathematically and with complete precision.

Charles James Black Evening Dress

Anglo-American designer Charles James was recognized even in his heyday as a genius in 
the art of sculpting fabric into inventive fashions. While he produced relatively few 
garments over his 40-year career, today he holds cult status in fashion circles, as much for 
his legacy of unforgettable clothes as for the magnetic force of his complex personality 
and his unorthodox creative process. Without formal dressmaking training, he developed 
his own methodology based on mathematical, architectural, and sculptural concepts as 
they relate to the human body. His venturesome and original methods inspired and 
fascinated his contemporaries as well as generations of designers and admirers who 
followed.
Each gown was calling to me, come hither and gaze into our beauty as I started my journey. First gown was superb as did all the other follow!
"The Swan Gown, The Butterfly Gown and The Cloverleaf were a few of my favorites and I know they also will be yours!  
I was accompanied by my long time best friend Beth, who as me, loves to see beautiful art in all shapes and sizes. 
Each dress was poised gracefully with colorful digital features explaining all the detailed instructions on how Charles James constructed these exquisite gowns.  The exhibit comes in two parts, the second, is found downstairs where the two spaces recently renovated have been titled as the Anna Wintour Costume Center!!  Here at this exhibit you can see beautiful hand drawn sketches of all his work along with his beautiful floppy hats and feather fans! (which is of course Cameo Girls favorite.)  
So join us through the lens of the camera or come and see this extravagant exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum 82nd and 5th ave. now until Aug. 10 2014.
