Art Wear in Milan

I am in Italy with our 18 fashion students from our college. Yesterday, we saw a special exhibit called Capi d'Opera at Palazzo Moranda. Various artisans were at work. Amongst other things we saw amazing fashion by haute couture designers, including garments made of silk, wool felt and other materials.
