Fashion On Display

When fashions get their own displays Arranged in a museum, It’s guaranteed that I will be One person who will see ‘em. I study all the sketches and The mannequins all dressed In fancy outfits sure to leave All comers quite impressed. Today, at the Mizrahi show, The staff did help contrive To take the dresses, coats and gowns And make them come alive. For after gazing at the clothes Most artfully on view, There was a film where models In those threads came strutting through. As wonderful as garments look When hanging there, inert, It’s so much better when we see The swaying of a skirt.
