Resicom NYC staff members recommend that you run - not walk - to the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” exhibition currently on view through the 10th of August at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This exhibition is arranged in two parts with the first being on the 1st floor accessible through the Greek galleries and the second in the traditional ground-floor space through the Egyptian galleries. Aside from the sumptuous ball gowns on display, the curators have incorporated technology to help visitors understand the architecture of each gown. It is a beautifully arranged exhibition on a brilliantly gifted designer using video animation and live-feed cameras to explore the construction of these gorgeous works of art.
P.S. The exhibition catalogue is stunning and worth every penny. A must for every fashionista.

Note: Please excuse the quality of the images as the galleries were darkly lit in order to protect the extremely delicate fabrics and presumably for dramatic effect.
