the model as muse: embodying fashion

We will definitely be planning a trip to NYC for the MET's "Model as Muse" exhibit. Available May 6th - August 9th, The Costume Institute of the MET will examine the relationship between high fashion and iconic fashion models during the second half of the 20th century.  

"We will look at the power of clothing, fashion photography, and the model to project the look of an era. With a mere gesture, a truly stellar model can sum up the attitude of her time, becoming more than a muse to designers or photographers - she can become a muse to a generation." (Harold Kuda, curator of the Costume Institute)
