These dramatic\, contemporary creations can enliven and update a wardrobe\, yet many current sleeve styles have cycled in and out of fashion for decades\, if not centuries. Although sleeves can be especially challenging to make\, they also inspire countless creative ideas. \nStatement Sleeves takes an original approach to the history of fashion. The selected garments date from the 18th century to the present\, but they are not presented chronologically. They are instead organized by type. Following an introduction to basic sleeve shapes—from gigot to raglan—visitors will encounter the myriad ways in which designers have reinterpreted and remixed sleeves through variations in material\, shape\, embellishment\, and even functionality. More than 60 styles\, all from the museum’s permanent collection\, emphasize how sleeves hold the power to define a look—in both the past and present. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-statement-sleeves-closes/ LOCATION:Fashion and Textile History Gallery\, The Museum at FIT\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Public ORGANIZER;CN="The Museum at FIT":MAILTO:museuminfo@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.7536854;-73.9991637 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Fashion and Textile History Gallery The Museum at FIT Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-73.9991637,40.7536854 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240903 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240904 DTSTAMP:20260429T210517 CREATED:20240627T143435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240711T143611Z UID:10007478-1725321600-1725407999@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Exhibition: It’s a Kid’s World; Play\, Imagine\, Create — Closes DESCRIPTION:Illustration by Bonnie Wong.\nAugust 9–September 3\, 2024\nArt and Design Gallery \nWhen designing for young children it is important to experience the world as they do.

The Museum at FIT\, museum purchase\, 2023.32.1\nSeptember 18–December 29\, 2024\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery\, The Museum at FIT\n \nAfrica’s Fashion Diaspora examines fashion as a medium of storytelling and as a vital way for designers to contribute to longstanding and evolving ideas of transnational Black cultural spaces. Whether described as Négritude\, Pan-Africanism\, the Black Atlantic\, Black consciousness\, or Afrofuturism\, Black thinkers and creatives\, from philosophers to writers\, musicians\, and visual artists\, have theorized cultural connections between diverse communities of African descent. This exhibition explores designers from Africa\, the Americas\, and Europe who interpret and construct the culture of their distinct localities and communities for an international audience and/or reach across geographies to tie Black cultural practices together through their designs. \nExamples include South African designer Sindiso Khumalo’s textile print inspired by American abolitionist Harriet Tubman\, British designer Grace Wales Bonner’s tuxedo informed by the court of Emperor Haile Selassie in Ethiopia\, and French designer Olivier Rousteing’s collection for Balmain based on Black American cowboys. Through approximately 60 ensembles\, textiles\, and accessories\, Africa’s Fashion Diaspora illustrates how fashion designers have contributed to international dialogues to chronicle\, evaluate\, and expand modern ideas of Blackness. \nAfrica’s Fashion Diaspora is curated by MFIT associate curator Elizabeth Way. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-africas-fashion-diaspora-opens/ LOCATION:Special Exhibitions Gallery\, The Museum at FIT\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Public ORGANIZER;CN="The Museum at FIT":MAILTO:museuminfo@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.7536854;-73.9991637 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Special Exhibitions Gallery The Museum at FIT Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-73.9991637,40.7536854 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240919T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240919T134500 DTSTAMP:20260429T210517 CREATED:20240911T155424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240911T170814Z UID:10006997-1726750800-1726753500@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Globally Connected @ FIT: Meet Our New Faculty in the Liberal Arts\, Part 2 DESCRIPTION:José Blanco\n \n \n \n \n \n Dianne Bellino\n \n \n \n \n \n Christine Ballesteros\n \n \n\nGlobally Connected @ FIT is back for fall 2024 with “Meet New FIT Liberal Arts Faculty Members: Hear About the Global Aspects of Their Research.” \nJosé Blanco\, History of Art\nJosé is an associate professor in the History of Art department.
