Even in Bruce Weber’s famed fashion work, clothes follow the lead
of the strong personalities to which he’s drawn. (As Weber once
told an interviewer, “I think National Geographic has some of the
best fashion I’ve ever seen.”) This month the Museum of
Contemporary Art in North Miami unveils “Bruce Weber: Haiti/Little
Haiti” (November 19 to February 13, 2011), a show of the portraits
that Weber took on the streets of Miami’s thriving Haitian
neighborhoods, which he began frequenting in 2003. It’s a
well-deserved tribute to a community that has braved more than enough
challenges of late.
