You Might Have Missed That the Nanny Loved Art
But this new Instagram account hasn't.
Art Girls Jungle 04 Feb 2019

A little cheat sheet for all millennials who never heard of The Nanny before:

The Nanny is an American television sitcom which originally aired on CBS from 1993 to 1999, starring Fran Drescher as Fran Fine, a Jewish fashion queen from Flushing, New York who becomes the nanny of three children from the New York/British high society.
The show was created and produced by Drescher and her husband Peter Marc Jacobson, taking much of its inspiration from Drescher’s personal life growing up in Queens, involving names and characteristics based on her relatives and friends. The show earned a Rose d’Or and one Emmy Award, out of a total of twelve nominations, and Drescher was twice nominated for a Golden Globe and an Emmy. The sitcom has also spawned several foreign adaptations, loosely inspired by the original scripts.
Thanks to Wikipedia for this wise words.

But thanks to Louis-Philippe Van Eeckhoutte there is a new little instagram that gives me sweet nostalgic moments paired with the right & light dose of art world moments: @thenannyart
Well, the idea is pretty straight forward: Pairing Fran Drescher’s 90s wardrobes with their art history counterparts.

From Matisse to Josh Smith, none of the outfits she rocks, lacks the right comparison and these little gem, gives me an instant smile when appearing in my scroll.
