“In America: An Anthology of Fashion" ✨
⁣
Opening May 7, the second in our two-part #MetInAmerica exhibition, staged in the @metmuseum’s American Wing period rooms, explores the foundations of American fashion through a series of sartorial displays featuring individual designers and dressmakers working in the United States from the 19th to the mid-late 20th centuries.⁣
⁣
Inspired by the vision of Met curators from The #CostumeInstitute and @metamericanwing, nine film directors will create fictional cinematic vignettes, or “freeze frames,” that share new perspectives on American fashion. These mise-en-scènes will reveal the role of dress in shaping the diverse nature of American identities and exploring the layered histories of these room settings. ⁣
⁣
Contributing directors include Janicza Bravo, Sofia Coppola, Julie Dash, Tom Ford, Regina King, Martin Scorsese, Autumn de Wilde, Chloé Zhao and Radha Blank.
