It's not the British who are coming to Boston, but the French. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts is currently showing pieces from 10 recent Paris collections. "Fashion Show: Paris Collections 2006" highlights designs from some of France's leading designers, including Azzedine Alaia, Hussein Chalayan, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, and John Galliano for Christian Dior. This is the first time in a decade that the MFA has shown a fashion exhibit, and the exhibit blends art and video. The clothes are presented on mannequins but there's also a video projection of life-size models sashaying down a runway. The exhibit runs through March 18, 2007.
