The Costume Institute's show will be centered on American fashion
This year's Met Gala, and the Costume Institute exhibit at the Met, will focus on Camp.
Starting Thursday May 4th, the designer's works of fashion art will be on display for public viewing through September 4th.
The show offers both a look at some recent acquisitions as well as why they were chosen to be part of the museum's collection.
This will be the Costume Institute's first show on a living designer since 1983.
Fashion is now increasingly becoming a mix of handmade and high-tech processes.
The show focuses on handmade techniques and technological innovation—and how couture fashion is complemented by and even pushed further by machinery, from synthetic fabrics to design techniques.
From dynastic robes to Mao jackets.
The Met Gala is on May 4, the exhibit opens on May 7.
The show closes after Sunday.
