Description
While the world-renowned Costume Institute was officially added to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1946, the department didn't attract many visitors during its early years. That all changed when Diana Vreeland, the former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, joined the museum in 1972, and used showy theatrical displays to make historical fashion more glamorous and exciting for modern audiences. The scale and popularity of fashion exhibitions have continued to skyrocket in recent years, regularly attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to museums, while proving that fashion is a subject worthy of serious consideration. This is the story of how fashion exhibitions became blockbuster spectacles, raising the status of fashion from a frivolous pursuit to a true form of art. Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the history of fashion exhibitions by taking a deep-dive into how they enrich our understanding of history and culture. Led by fashion historian Sara Idacavage, this fast-paced webinar with interactive elements along the way feature a Q& A afterward. See you there, virtually!
