For those in clothing and accessories fashion, this is an absolute must to visit. Force of Nature shows how nature influences fashion in fabric printing of patterns and styling of clothes, hats and shoes. Melissa Marra's curated analysis of associating Darwin's theory of natural selection and sexual attraction in animals by colouring and fashion designers conscious copying of animals skin colours, patterns, textures and feathers and environment also to attract attention is insightful for viewers and shoppers as well. Clothing for females is made for attracting attention whereas for males less so, to match the animal kingdom. Females attract and males are attracted. Women probably shop more than men,whether consciously or unconsciously with this in mind.
Incredible exhibits. If you're interested in fashion, styling or history in any way check it out. I make it a point to see every exhibit they offer. Usually it's a smaller one upstairs with tons of facts and history, and a larger one in the basement. Very well curated and informative. Love this place!
Free exhibits about fashion. Worth checking out. FIT itself is in a hulking Brutalist concrete monster of a building, looks like it is always leaking something.
It's free and surprisingly well curated. As someone with no sense of fashion, I found the text accompanying the exhibits to be clear enough to give me a sense of what triggered the choices made by each era's fashion designers. The exhibit itself is extremely small (I wouldn't spend more than 60-90 minutes here), this lovely museum is an excellent detour for locals and tourists alike.
The United States' premier museum of clothing and fashion. Well thought out exhibitions across two accessible galleries. Easy to get to hours and it's free. And it draws upon the museum's excellent collection.
