Impressionism and Fashion

I'm somewhat dismayed that my jaunt to Paris later cette mois (pardon my franglais) unhappily fails to coincide with the Impressionism and Fashion exhibition at the Musée D'Orsay (a fave joint for a Parisian culture fix).

The exhibition runs until January 20th, so catch it while you can, discerning art-fashion lovers... Perhaps I'll get a look in when it moves to the Met in New York (February-May).
[N.B. I am now fully committed to dreaming of 2013 travel plans: new year, new adventures]

Here's legendary style blogger The Sartorialist's part of the video that accompanies the expo: -
As he (Scott Schuman, to mere non-fashion fiend mortals) explains,
'I’ve always been inspired by painting, especially Impressionism, so to be included as a modern proponent of the Impressionism concept is quite humbling.'

His blog (the stuff of aspiration for a fashion amateur such as myself) can be found here.
