The exhibition at the Ferragamo Museum has some truly unique fashions. Here is a sampling of what we saw.
Fashion is not about seeing where you are going:

| We dubbed this outfit "The Hot Pad Dress" |
Seinfeld-esque Fashion: If Seinfeld's Kramer can create a coffee table book that turns into a coffee table, why can't a fashion designer create a coffee table that turns into a woman's skirt? Concentric wooden hoops transform from a circular coffee table into a full length skirt. Click here to see it for your self. We think Kramer would be pleased.
Remote Control Fashion: The dress pictured below has moveable parts that are remotely controlled. To see the dress in action, click here.
Eliminating the Catwalk: Fashion models typically glide down a runway to display new fashions. One designer asked, "What if we substitute a canal for the catwalk?" Check out the answer in the photos below. The models actually floated down a canal where the designer's new fashions. We wonder if the clothes were waterproof.
Mood Board: The exhibition included a unique display. In a separate room, there was a video mood board. As part of the creative process, some fashion designers collect objects and photos and affix them to a large board or a wall. The board captures a style or mood they are creating, hence the name "mood board". The museum created a virtual a mood board using a video display in the round, together with music to help set the mood. Check it out here.
Shoes: What would an exhibition at the Ferragamo Museum be without shoes, lots of shoes?
