How American fashion history is woven into the architecture of The Met
In short: Andrew Bolton, curator of The Costume Institute, leads a tour through the second half of a massive two-part exhibition. This presentation explores the intersection of American sartorial history and the period rooms of The Met's American Wing.
The exhibition, titled In America: An Anthology of Fashion, serves as a dialogue between clothing and the layered histories of the museum's period rooms. By placing garments within these specific architectural contexts, the show highlights complex narratives that have shaped the American identity.
This exhibition ran from May 7, 2022, through September 5, 2022, and was produced in collaboration with The Met's American Wing with support from Condé Nast.
