buttons are a big deal

the button exposition at the Mona Bismarck Foundation

i don't know why these are the only pictures I took- or why these two were the examples i chose to take pictures of. there was so much to see. The garment's role is secondary when dressed with some of these buttons. for some of these creations. elsa schiaparelli is one woman who knew how to use buttons. but then fashion was art, for her, and not everyone wants big white elephants dancing down their chest

my particular favorites were Henri Hamm, and Roger Scemama
