The day comes when you realize you’re subscribing to all the wrong fashion magazines. A little bit of your world crumbles, or maybe a lot.

A visit to the International Center of Photography may cause such a day. The center is inaugurating a year of fashion photography exhibitions called “2009 Year of Fashion” — with four synergistic exhibitions.

And finally "The Thaw Collection of Master Drawings" at The Morgan Library. With 2 stunning Ingres portraits on display which haven't been seen in over 100 years! AS well a number of modern drawings from Claude Monet to Ellsworth Kelly.
