"Fashioning Wonder: A Cabinet of Curiosities" at the Museum at FIT invites visitors to explore over 200 unique garments and accessories inspired by historical collections. These collections, which belonged to the affluent, are interpreted through the lens of fashion, highlighting the influence of colonialism and the often-misunderstood origins of the displayed items. The show runs through April 20, offering a fresh perspective on how fashion interacts with historical artifacts and the concept of curiosity within collections that once inspired awe.
Fashion objects were often part of these collections. Clearly, they're not fashion-obsessed like I am.
The exhibit features over 200 garments and accessories inspired by rare objects from historic collections owned by the wealthy.
