Yesterday I saw Silver & Suede/Halston & Warhol at the Des Moines Art Museum. Fascinating exploration of the “interconnected lives and creative practices” of Halston and Andy Warhol. I am thrilled with the trend in recent years for art museums throughout the country to give major exhibitions of important fashion designers. I think that, as with photography, ceramics, fiber etc., the art world gradually comes to realize and accept that these art forms are no different than painting and sculpture.
