Me & Mom - The exhibit Norell:Dean of American Fashion at the Museum at FIT was interesting. We had never heard of Norman Norell before, but we loved a lot of his clothes. Everything in the collection was so colorful. There were a lot of dresses and coats. There were a bunch cute dresses that looked like sailor dresses. They looked like something out of  a movie. A lot of the outfits had big bows. There was bunch of sparkly dresses full of sequins. They looked like if you walked in them they would shed sequins everywhere. There were some weird feathered dresses that looked like bird's nest. There were a bunch of cure little black dresses.  There were some other items on display  as well like jewelry as well as the Coty Award won by Norman Norell. All in all, it was fascination exhibit especially if you love fashion.
