FIT and Valentina exhibits

Each time I take a group to FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City, I wish I could be lucky enough to be a student at this prestigious school. One of the costume collection curators takes us to a room, where we all sit around a large, muslin-covered table. One by one, she pulls gorgeous creations off a rack with designers like Chanel, Issey Miyake, Claire McCardell, Fortuny, Adrian and many others. She carefully shows us design details and the inside of each piece. It's fun to see how they were constructed.



After our presentation we go down to the Gallery to visit the current exhibit and see more beautiful garments. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to take pictures there. We then go to the book store, which has the best collection of fashion books I have ever seen. Walking through the campus we always find an exhibit of a senior student's work.

For this particular exhibit, each mannequin advertised a perfume the student had created.

On another day, we visited a special exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Museum of Valentina's work.

She was a New York designer from the 30's to the 50's. Katherine Hepburn, Rosaline Russell and many Hollywood starlets wore her designs. Our guide shared many interesting details about her private and public life. It was a wonderful exhibit of her work.

If you are visiting New York this summer, FIT has an exhibit of Isabelle Toledo's work which should be outstanding.

FEEDBACK
Recently I made the Town & Country and wore it on to Europe. What a great outfit! The skirt is so comfortable with the back elastic and kick pleat and worn with the vest I felt well dressed wherever I went.
