SO YA LIKE MOVIE COSTUMES?

Last week 

the fabulous 

Mrs. Warburton

and I went to a

fashion show/costume exhibit

at

The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising

The fashion show part had former FIDM grad

and Project Runway star

Nick Varreos 

showing off some of his Academy Award-inspired gowns.

which were lovely--

but yeah 

big deal

whatever

who cares

because 

BATTLE ARMOR!!!

No,

the fashion show 

didn't include these

costumes from 

Pacific Rim,

but 

the gallery show 

afterwards 

did!

Highlighting

many of this year's Oscar nominated films,

the exhibit spanned an impressive

cross-section of 

movies.

Like 

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Man of Steel

(the detail on this costume was sooper intricate)

GI Joe: Retaliation

My youngest son

went to pre-school with the son or 

Ray Park

(Snake Eyes, Darth Maul, The Toad, etc)

He's a really great guy

so we were psyched

to see his costume here:

I think this was from Thor:

One of the my favorite parts of the exhibit

was the paper-craft hair on

the mannequins:

Obviously 

it wasn't all

sci-fi 

fantasy 

action movie 

costumes

or

Mrs. Warburton

would have run screaming into the night.

There was stuff from

Anna Karenina:

The Great Gatsby:

American Hustle:

But 

yeah 

big deal

whatever

who cares

because 

SAMURAI!!!

The show is running until

April 26th

so you've got 

time to see it.

Details are over
