For SF Bay Area People

If you’re interested in Art Deco or Japanese fashion, you’ll want to check out two exhibits at the UC Berkeley Art Museum: Meiji a la Mode: A Modernizing Japan, 1868–1912 (Aug. 24 2005 – Dec. 23 2005) and Taisho Chic: Japanese Modernity, Nostalgia, and Deco (Sept. 14 2005 – Dec. 23 2005). Taisho Chic has a book that’s been out for a few months. I leafed through it a while back and it was really gorgeous; I think this exhibition should be great.
