All Bow Down

 

A few galleries into "A Line of Beauty" I overheard a Met security guard say to a couple of squealing visitors "You're only about a third through.  

By the time you reach the end, you'll have tears in your eyes."  Well, maybe not tears but definitely a greater willingness to bow down before the creativity and productivity of haute couture fashion emperor Karl Lagerfeld.
