Prada and Schiaparelli at the Met
By CATHY HORYN
Elsa Schiaparelli may share a birthday with Karl Lagerfeld (Sept. 10), but Miuccia Prada is unquestionably her sister in soul. Putting these two nimble minds together makes sense, and not simply because both are educated Italian women who enjoy a good fashion joke. The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today that the spring 2012 exhibit at the Costume Institute will be “Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion.” It will open May 10 and run through Aug. 19, with the gala on May 7.
