Redrawing the Fashion Map
A new exhibition at the Museum at FIT celebrates the world’s most fashionable cities—but London, Paris, New York, and Milan have some competition. In addition to the usual suspects, the show features designs from Seoul, Shanghai, Berlin, and more, making note of the economic and political conditions that brought them to be. See a preview of the enlightening exhibition here.
“Global Fashion Capitals” runs through November 14th at the Museum at FIT.
