SUMMARY:Exhibition: Art X Fashion — Opens
DESCRIPTION:Wales Bonner X Kerry James Marshall\, cotton t-shirt reproducing Lost Boys: AKA Black Sonny (1993) by Kerry James Marshall\, spring 2023\, museum purchase\, 2022.55.1\nFebruary 18–April 19\, 2026\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery\nThe Museum at FIT \nArt X Fashion is a major exhibition exploring the entangled and shifting relationship between fine art and fashion—typically considered a “decorative” or “applied” art. Curated by Dr. Elizabeth Way\, curator of Costume and Accessories\, and featuring 140 garments\, textiles\, and accessories from The Museum at FIT’s permanent collection\, this exhibition traces fashion and art’s parallel aesthetics from 18th century rococo to late-20th century postmodernism. \nUtilizing the theoretical framework developed by art and fashion historian Dr. Christopher Richards\, Art X Fashion invites viewers to consider the much-asked question\, “Is fashion art?” through historic and contemporary examples. Further themes explore the overlapping art-and-fashion work of artists—such as Salvador Dalí\, Sonia Delaunay\, Kerry James Marshall\, Antonio Lopez\, and Pablo Picasso—and fashion designers\, including Hussein Chalayan\, Issey Miyake\, Paul Poiret\, Elsa Schiaparelli\, and Vivienne Tam\, as well as the ways artists use fashion to shape their identities and expand their cultural significance.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Fashioning Wonder: A Cabinet of Curiosities — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Mary Katrantzou\, printed\, embroidered\, and beaded dress with net overlay\, spring 2019\, England\, museum purchase\, 2023.52.1\nFebruary 19–April 20\, 2025\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery\nThe Museum at FIT \nFashioning Wonder: A Cabinet of Curiosities is an inventive exhibition that provides the first in-depth exploration of the fascinating connections between cabinets of curiosities and fashion. Also known as wunderkammern in German\, cabinets of curiosities can be traced back to the early 16th century. They were precursors to the modern museum\, and many included examples of clothing. The exhibition features nearly 200 garments and accessories\, almost exclusively selected from MFIT’s permanent collection\, which are inspired by the breadth of objects collected within the cabinets. The objects on view\, many of which are shown for the first time\, are meant to pique curiosity through their rarity\, beauty\, or originality. \nAn introductory gallery examines the history of cabinets of curiosities\, explaining their significance to the Age of Exploration (15th to 17th centuries)\, their ties to colonialism\, and the need for contemporary museums to be more inclusive and informed about the objects they acquire. It also highlights the interconnections between curiosity\, creativity\, and collecting. A dress by Mary Katrantzou dates to her 10th anniversary collection in 2019\, in which she expressed the urge “to amass like objects of a particular kind\, to record\, to study and identify\, to protect and cherish.” Its intricate patterning includes butterflies and seashells\, both of which are regularly featured in the cabinets. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public. Find out more on The Museum at FIT’s website.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Africa's Fashion Diaspora — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Sindiso Khumalo\, printed cotton dress detail\, Spring 2021\, South Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Food & Fashion — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Scott for Moschino\, chocolate bar gown\, wool/silk and polyamide-nylon blend\, fall 2014\, Italy\, museum purchase\, 2019.55.1\nSeptember 13–November 26\, 2023\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery\, The Museum at FIT \nFood and fashion are two modes of expression central to our daily lives. They address humankind’s most basic needs\, and also offer a significant window into our societies. The histories of food and fashion as consumer and cultural products have converged over the past three centuries. Fashion designers turn to food themes and motifs to comment on critical topics ranging from cultural identity to sustainability\, social activism\, and body politics\, to ideas related to femininity\, domesticity\, nostalgia\, and consumerism. \nFood & Fashion is a major exhibition exploring the relationship between these related topics. Featuring over 90 works\, it includes garments\, accessories\, and textiles by designers such as Chanel\, Delvaux\, Comme des Garçons\, Carla Fernandez\, Stella Jean\, Judith Leiber\, Issey Miyake\, William Morris\, Moschino\, Rick Owens\, Charles Frederick Worth\, and Jason Wu. Food and Fashion illuminates the dynamic relationship between these two mediums as expressed in fashion design. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public; find details about visiting The Museum at FIT at fitnyc.edu/museum/visit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Shoes: Anatomy\, Identity\, Magic — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Tom Ford\, evening sandals\, spring 2012\, USA\, gift of Tom Ford International\, 2013.10.1\nSeptember 1–December 31\, 2022\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery \nShoes: Anatomy\, Identity\, Magic explores our physical\, social\, and psychological relationship with shoes. The exhibition begins with a pair of baby shoes\, indicating how shoes accompany us on the journey of life. \nThe theme of anatomy emphasizes how we stand and move differently when we wear\, say\, sneakers rather than stilettos. Peep-toe shoes and thigh-high boots also draw attention to different parts of our anatomy. \nThe theme of identity emphasizes how we tend to associate different shoe styles and brands with different types of people. High-heeled shoes have long been associated with erotic femininity\, and stilettos\, in particular\, are identified with the femme fatale. By contrast\, rubber-soled sneakers were invented for sports\, so they are identified with athletes. \nThe theme of magic emphasizes how we may unconsciously believe that the right pair of shoes will change our lives\, as Cinderella’s glass slippers captured the attention of a prince. Because professional athletes often wear sneakers\, we may decide to buy a pair of Nike Air Jordans\, hoping\, like Lil’ Bow Wow in the film Like Mike\, that they will “magically” enhance our physical prowess. \nThe exhibition features more than 300 of the 5\,000 pairs of shoes\, boots\, sandals\, and sneakers in the museum’s permanent collection\, aka “the closet.” \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Reinvention and Restlessness: Fashion in the Nineties — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Moschino Couture suit\, printed rayon\, 1990\, Italy\, museum purchase\, 2009.1.4.\nJanuary 19–April 17\, 2022 \nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery \nMinimalism. Retro revivals. Deconstruction. The rejuvenation of haute couture. These are just a few of the concepts that have come to define 1990s fashion\, which was not easily characterized by a handful of silhouettes or the dictates of a few designers. As fashion editor Stephen Gan wrote in 1997\, “To focus on one current look or to obsess over the rise and fall of hemlines is to miss out on the wonder and variety in fashion today.” \nReinvention and Restlessness: Fashion in the Nineties is organized by Colleen Hill\, curator of costume and accessories\, and features more than seventy-five looks from Alexander McQueen\, Hussein Chalayan\, Gucci\, Calvin Klein\, Helmut Lang\, Maison Martin Margiela\, Prada\, XULY.Bët\, and many others. The exhibition centers on designers who challenged the expected appearance or workings of high fashion\, and who played an important role in laying the foundation for fashion of the twenty-first century. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a book of the same title\, published by Rizzoli Electa. More than 150 images by photographers such as Mark Borthwick\, Corinne Day\, Patrick Demarchelier\, Craig McDean\, Nick Knight\, David Sims\, and Ellen Von Unwerth illustrate some of the most important fashions of this dynamic decade. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Ravishing: The Rose in Fashion — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Charles James\, debutante dress\, 1937\, USA\, Gift of Mrs. John Hammond\, 77.89.3.\nAugust 6–November 28\, 2021\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery \n\nRavishing: The Rose in Fashion presents the first socio-cultural examination of the rose in fashion. This flower can be dated back over 3 million years\, and its broad geographic sweep is entwined with stories of trade\, immigration\, politics\, religion\, gender\, food\, beauty\, and identity. It has been worshipped and reviled\, and it is inextricably linked to perceptions of love. Not surprisingly\, this delicate and fragrant flower—as well its sharp thorns—has provided endless inspiration for artists\, writers\, and designers. The rose has greatly influenced the form and decoration of apparel\, jewelry\, and fashion imagery. \nRavishing will explore the significance of the rose in fashion and dressed appearance from circa 1750 to the present. More than 75 objects will be selected for their historic and aesthetic significance in addition to their broader symbolic\, socio-economic\, and geo-political importance. The exhibition is curated by Amy de la Haye\, Rootstein Hopkins Chair of Dress History and Curatorship and joint director of the Centre for Fashion Curation at London College of Fashion\, and Colleen Hill\, curator of costume and accessories at The Museum at FIT. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Ballerina: Fashion's Modern Muse — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Charles James ballgown\, silk chiffon\, satin\, netting\, and boning\, 1954-1955\, USA\, gift of Robert Wells in memory of Lisa Kirk.\nThe Museum at FIT is temporarily closed.  \nView the online exhibition here. \nFebruary 7–April 18\, 2020  \n\n\nBallet took its place in the western pantheon of modern high culture during the interwar years of the twentieth century. The ballerina\, the form’s most celebrated practitioner\, blossomed into a revered figure of beauty and glamour\, and her signature costume—the corseted tutu—inspired many of fashion’s leading designers. Ballerina: Fashion’s Modern Muse will illustrate the influence of classical ballet and ballerinas on high fashion from the early 1930s to the late 1970s. It is being organized by Patricia Mears\, deputy director of MFIT. \nThe popularization of classical ballet owes much to the British and Americans. Imperial Russian classical ballet would become the most popular performing art in the United Kingdom during the 1930s and 1940s\, and later\, the United States. At its peak\, from the early 1930s to mid-century\, haute couture looked to classical ballets such as Giselle\, Swan Lake\, and Sleeping Beauty for aesthetic inspiration. Modern ballets performed in leotards and tights would also influence mid-century American active fashions. \nMost of the objects on view will be high fashion garments\, ranging from Parisian couture to British custom-made clothing and American ready-to-wear. Also included will be a small selection of ballet costumes and rehearsal clothing that illustrate the connection between dance costume and fashion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Paris\, Capital of Fashion — Closes
DESCRIPTION:John Galliano\, ensemble\, spring/summer 1992\, England\, museum purchase.\nSeptember 6\, 2019–January 4\, 2020  \n\n\nParis\, Capital of Fashion will explore how and why Paris became the international capital of fashion. It will feature approximately 75 fashion ensembles\, dating from the 18th century to the present\, as well as accessories. Curated by Dr. Valerie Steele\, director of The Museum at FIT\, this major exhibition will be accompanied by a book and symposium. \nThe introductory gallery will place Paris within the global fashion system. After the Second World War\, Paris was repeatedly challenged by new fashion centers\, such as London\, Milan\, and New York. The first section of the main gallery will focus on the rise of the Paris fashion system in the late 17th and 18th centuries. The court at Versailles was the official epicenter of fashion\, but fashion professionals were based in the city of Paris and foreign visitors were amazed by the Parisian “mania” for fashion. The second section will explore the growth of the Paris fashion system with its many métiers de la mode and its increased focus on feminine fashion. Particular attention will be paid to the development of the haute couture\, which transformed dressmaking from a small-scale artisanal craft into big business and high art. Today\, globalization and technology have transformed the world of fashion. Yet Paris remains a unique fashion city. \n\nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Pink: The History of a Punk\, Pretty\, Powerful Color — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon dress\, pink silk taffeta\, 1857\, USA\, museum purchase.\nSeptember 7\, 2018–January 5\, 2019  \nPink is popularly associated with little girls\, ballerinas\, Barbie dolls\, and all things feminine. Yet the symbolism and significance of pink have varied greatly across time and space. The stereotype of pink-for-girls versus blue-for-boys may be ubiquitous today\, but it only gained traction in the mid-20th century. In the eighteenth century\, when Madame de Pompadour helped make pink fashionable at the French court\, it was perfectly appropriate for a man to wear a pink suit\, just as a woman might wear a pink dress. In cultures such as India\, men never stopped wearing pink. \nYet anyone studying pink comes up against “the color’s inherent ambivalence.” One of “the most divisive of colors\,” pink provokes strong feelings of both “attraction and repulsion.”  “Please sisters\, back away from the pink\,” wrote one journalist\, responding to the pink pussy hats worn at the Women’s March. Some people think pink is pretty\, sweet\, and romantic\, while others associate it with childish frivolity or flamboyant vulgarity. In recent years\, however\, pink increasingly has been interpreted as cool\, androgynous\, and political. “Why would anyone pick blue over pink?” mused the rapper Kanye West. “Pink is obviously a better color.” In the words of i-D magazine\, pink is “punk\, pretty\, and powerful.” \nCurated by Dr. Valerie Steele\, director of The Museum at FIT\, Pink: The History of a Punk\, Pretty\, Powerful Color will explore the changing significance of the color pink over the past three centuries.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Expedition: Fashion From the Extreme — Closes
DESCRIPTION:John Cowan for Vogue\, November 1964.\nExpedition: Fashion From the Extreme traces a few of the most challenging forms of human exploration and looks at how the clothes made for survival in these environments found their way into high fashion. Types of expeditions will include deep sea\, polar navigation\, mountain climbing\, treks through the extreme tropical and arid environments\, and even travel to outer space. \nFour major types of clothing will constitute the majority of the exhibition: indigenous clothing such as anoraks worn by the Inuit that were later appropriated by the first Western European explorers; tailored menswear clothes made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in cities such as London and commissioned by the first European explorers; an array of garments displaying novel technologies\, mainly the newest high technology materials; and last\, a wide range of high fashions inspired by these endeavors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Paris Refashioned\, 1957–1968 — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Couture Future (ready-to-wear label by André Courrèges)\, pantsuit\, 1968\, wool blend\, France\, gift of Mrs. Phillip Schwartz.\nParis Refashioned\, 1957-1968 examines the significant role that Paris played during one of the most fascinating and groundbreaking periods in fashion history. In 1957\, 21-year-old Yves Saint Laurent was made creative director of the esteemed couture house of Christian Dior. His first solo collection for Dior included his A-line “trapeze” dresses\, ushering in an unmistakable shift toward more relaxed and ultimately more youthful designs—and with it\, dramatic changes to the couture fashion industry. \nBy 1963\, a group of young French ready-to-wear designers known as the stylistes had begun to make an impact on fashion both in their home country and abroad. Their of-the-minute fashions\, which were favored by style arbiters such as Brigitte Bardot\, presented an unexpected challenge to the more staid\, costly\, and labor-intensive creations of the couturiers. By 1968\, some of the best-known couturiers—including Saint Laurent\, Pierre Cardin\, and André Courrèges—were presenting ready-to-wear lines in addition to their couture creations. Paris Refashioned will examine the shift from the unassailable dominance of the haute couture to the newfound influence of ready-to-wear.
