Defining the modern vocabulary of American fashion through expressive design
In short: Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, leads a tour through The Met's exhibition In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. This presentation serves as the first half of a two-part investigation into the landscape of American style.
The exhibition, housed within the Anna Wintour Costume Center, seeks to establish a contemporary lexicon for American fashion. Rather than focusing solely on historical trends, the show centers on the expressive qualities inherent in the garments themselves.
As the inaugural installment of a broader two-part exploration, the exhibition was scheduled to remain on view through September 5, 2022, with additional support provided by Condé Nast.
