Haute Couture in Porzellan

For the 260th anniversary of the Nymphenburg porcelain manufacturer, renowned fashion designers were invited to "re-clothe" the Commedia dell'Arte figurines of Anton Bustelli, which were originally produced in the 18th century. They are on display until 31. October 2010 at the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum.
(sadly, the colors don't come out so well in the photos)

The unpainted figurines.

Molds.


















The exhibit was supplemented by 18th century period costumes, and contemporary pieces by Vivienne Westwood.

Maximilianstraße


This Rolls made its way up from Dubai.

Apparently, when it gets really hot in the Middle East in the summer, people come up to buy BMWs and shop at Dior.

"Luxury street" Maximilianstraße, where all the designer stores are, and the Bavarian State Opera.

This silly goose apparently wants to buy some bling at Tiffany.

From the jewelry collection.

Small carousel. The tiny teapots and things
move up and down as it turns.
