    She is an art collector. We like to pretend fashion isn't as important as paintings and sculpture, but her collection is just sophisticated as any other art form. I love her passion and excitement for each piece, and her joy as she puts them on and shows them off. So wonderful.

      I think it is in part due to sexism. Women were kept out of arts. Until fairly recently, it was extremely rare for women to be taken seriously as artists. Clothes and clothe making is seen as frivolous and not serious.
      The Met gala's real name is The Costume Institute Gala, and it is held because the Metropolitan Museum of Art does not provide funding for the costume institute. The Metropolitan museum provides funding to maintain its all other collections, and to create its other exhibitions, only the costume institute has to obtain its own funding.

    Your collection is amazing! I was into CDG when the Japanese designers first got noticed in America and around 1982-83. About 5 years I sold the men’s jacket with the accordion pleats on the front and had since about 1988. It was a famous early CDG piece that i used to get a lot of attention when wearing. Glad to see Comme de Garçon now doing so well and have a strong following. Bc when I first started wearing Comme in 1982, not many understood her designs or much of the Kapanese designers. Keep in mind, many of the Japanese designers when they first got big, were making sweater that had big holes and the hobo look. Many Americans couldn’t grasp back then paying $400 to $500 for a ugly old looking damaged sweater.
