As a living art form, fashion is open to multiple readings. A vibrant reflection of contemporary culture, fashion—especially in its most avant-garde expressions—affects us through its intense visual impact. blog.mode: addressing fashion is the first in a series of shows designed to promote critical and creative dialogues about fashion. The exhibition presents some forty costumes and accessories dating from the eighteenth century to the present—all recent Metropolitan Museum acquisitions—and invites visitors to share their reactions online or from a “blogbar” of computer terminals in the exhibition galleries.
This exhibit runs from December 18, 2007–April 13, 2008 at The Costume Institute, ground floor of The Metropolitan Museum. Get a fashion history lesson reading their blog. There are beautiful examples of fashion and some great information about the designers.
