Old fashioned fashion (Guadalajara)

-

On June 27 the Casa Museo López Portillo in Downtown hosted a free fashion show, exhibiting the latest wear in turn-of-the-century women's fashion. The event was preceded the day before by a slide show and lecture on various women's wear and was full of beauty, sleek corsets, ruffles, feathers, heavy-handed jewelry and---yum-yum---cleavage.




I regret not snagging a front row chair but with a full house in attendance I was glad to get a chair at all. The models were hot and one can only wonder, minus the Max Factor, if Mexicans back then really looked as sexy. If so, then the modern Tapatia ain't living up to the yardstick!




The fashion show was well organized, well attended, and well worth the educational and visual experience.
