So we'll hear the word "archival" ad nauseam on the steps. Got it.

I guess they need a bland palate cleanser after the "drama" surrounding Karl's exhibit.

i like this in theory, but i also don't get it.. like, what is the actual theme? i'm confused lol. historical costume? elizabethan fashion? post-war couture? your guess is as good as mine.

Alright who's showing up in F/W 2005 Viktor & Rolf RTW collection?

#TOOMUCHFASHION the archive pulls that were going to see!!!

 

[gallianostan]

hoping to see a lot of mcqueen here. if the emphasis is on transient materials, ephemeral textiles... ss01 and ss07 are the go-to's.

Even though it's just a remake, Stunning

I actually like the idea of this. In a way, it is a bit "back to basics" but with where fashion has been going lately, it'll be nice to see some of the works of the early greats. I doubt it, but hopefully there's some fabulous Schiaparelli, Gres and Vionnet pieces in here alongside say Prada's Fall 2007 feather and sequin pieces.

The theme is confusing, and can kind of be interpreted in odd ways. I do view it as a counterpart to Manus x Machina, just with a more transitory quality. I'm not sure the MET really knows where it is going with it either, considering other posts surrounding it.

What’s old is new again, but in the literal sense?

I will admit I thought the name of the theme sounded horridly pretentious at first but the more I've read and learned about the exhibit, I think it's absolutely perfect. Very much looking forward to seeing which designs Andrew Bolton unearths...

 

[DK92]

So far no co-host has been announced...

 

[Nimsay]

… what does that mean

[HodanChloe]

Why Chris Hemsworth? Since when is he relevant in fashion?

 

[blueorchid]

When have the co-chairs ever been relevant in fashion?

 

[The Byronic Boy]

Why Chris Hemsworth? Since when is he relevant in fashion?

to be fair, he knows how to rock a cape

 

[KoV]

There’s often/always celebrity cochairs without an obvious fashion connection. I think Hemsworth is a spokesperson for Hugo Boss though lol

 

[DK92]

Something tells me Jennifer will be wearing Schiaparelli.
