http://legionofhonor.famsf.org/legion/exhibitions/pulp-fashion-art-isabelle-de-borchgrave Pulp Fashion is showing in San Francisco, CA at the Legion of Honor museum. It is an exceptional show of paper art that looks just like fabric. I was astonished and bedazzled when I went to the member's preview day. Check it out if you are in San Francisco. I saw the Vivian Westwood show when it showed at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. It was a wonderful installation show that included multi-media. I totally loved this show.
