In the scorching heat of a summer's day, I embarked on a journey to the SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film, nestled deep within the vibrant enclave of Midtown Atlanta's Arts center. Ascending to the rooftop, I stumbled upon a hidden oasis, a lush garden sanctuary offering unparalleled views of "Haute-lanta" sprawled beneath like a kingdom of dreams. And there, atop the museum's rooftop, lay the entrance—a tantalizing secret waiting to be uncovered.

As I crossed the threshold, the museum buzzed with anticipation, despite the chaos of construction swirling around it, promising a grand reveal in the distant future of August 2023. But amidst the chaos, the Ellen Von Unwerth exhibition, "This Side of Paradise," beckoned with a captivating allure, drawing me into its realm of wonder. Each piece, a masterpiece in its own right, captivated the space with its brilliance, while the vibrant hues infused life into the exhibit. Yet, amidst its allure, there were moments of raw vulnerability, where nudity(I recommend for mature audiences) spoke volumes of truth, a testament to the unyielding spirit of artistic expression.

Navigating the intricate streets that led to its gates, I discovered a haven atop the neighboring deck—a sanctuary amidst the urban jungle. In the midst of the city's ceaseless clamor, the SCAD FASH Museum stood as a beacon of light and inspiration, inviting all who dared to venture into its hallowed halls, where the realms of art and fashion converged in a symphony of boundless creativity.
