Hot Time Summer in the City

This is a new feature Fashion Forum is going to post throughout the summer months. Even though we aren't in session with monthly meetings that doesn't mean the love for Fashion and Beauty needs to be put on hold too.

So, here's what you can do in NYC this weekend...
In Grand Central (42nd and Lexington - if you didn't know that) this weekend an exhibit on New York City films is being displayed. The New York Times ran an article about it this morning. The exhibit, entitled: Celluloid Skyline: New York and the Movies, is an ambitious exhibition of films, photographs and sets that begins today in Vanderbilt Hall, adjacent to the main concourse. The project was put together by James Sanders, based on his 2001 book of the same title, which shrewdly observes that two New Yorks — the real city and the screen fantasy — feed each other in a never-ending circle, according to the NYT.


The article mentions a handful of classics that will have screen shots on display, including Hitchock's North by Northwest, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Seven Year Itch and King Kong. Pictures from more modern movies, including Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and The Fisher King, will also be on display.


Celluloid Skyline, the mind behind the display, has an entire website dedicated to the exhibition. You can get the details about the pictures on display and the history behind the show here.
