DENIM: FASHION’S FRONTIER
Fashion & Textile History Gallery
December 1, 2015 – May 7, 2016
Denim has become one of the world’s most beloved fabrics. According to anthropologist Daniel Miller, “On any given day, nearly half the worlds population is in jeans.” The cultural significance of this has yet to be fully determined. Denim: Fashion’s Frontier explores the dynamic history of denim and its relationship with high fashion from the 19th century to the present. The exhibition traces denim from its origins in work wear of the 19th century, through its role as a symbol of counterculture rebellion in America, to its acceptance into mainstream culture. It culminates with the arrival of blue jeans as luxury items during the late 20th century, and denim’s subsequent deconstruction by contemporary designers through postmodern pastiche and experimentation.

THE RED CAT RESTAURANT

From the website: theredcat.com
In 1999, a journeyman chef named Jimmy Bradley opened The Red Cat in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood. With a down-to-earth setting, The Red Cat eschewed the very notion of “concept,” offering outstanding food and professional, attitude-free service. To this day, The Red Cat remains defined by this simple approach. Bradley and his staff focus on the little things, believing that details are the difference between good and great.
