fashion institute (fit) museum
i went to the fashion institute museum last week with my sister who was visiting. the museum is free, which is great.
the museum was easy to get to and was really easy to navigate. it is very obvious where the front is and the exhibits flow very nicely. when we visited, it had two exhibits (we think). when we left the first exhibit though, it was not immediately apparent if we were another exhibit or the end of the museum.
the first exhibit that we saw was called "arbiters of style: women at the forefront of fashion." it focused on how women had affected the current fashion focusing primarily on female designers. the exhibit was chronological starting in the eighteenth century to the present. they had a variety of types of clothing ranging from wedding dresses to suits to day outfits to ball gowns. the outfits were very well selected and beautiful. even as someone with very little knowledge of fashion designers, i recognized the majority of the designers. this exhibit is at the museum until nov. 8th, 2008.
the second exhibit seemed to be a student display of a storybook design. some of the artwork was beautiful, but as you can tell, we weren't really sure what we were looking at.
times visited: 1
time spent in museum: 45 minutes
overall: B+
