American Beauty: Aesthetics and Innovation in Fashion

(November 6, 2009-April 10, 2010; Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology; 7th Avenue at 27th St.)
The American Beauty exhibit at FIT uses the intricate craftsmanship of pattern and dressmaking as inspiration to showcase the artistry and intense hard work that goes into high fashion pieces. The exhibit also reveals some favorite revolutionary designers including brand name gurus like Halston, Bonnie Cashin and Rodarte but also those that may be a little more obscure. The pieces and works displayed are meant to highlight the fashion-forward thoughts and innovative detailing present in the very clothing that we wear today.
