History of fashion

"Founded in 1969 by the Fashion Institute of Technology, The Museum at FIT is a specialized fashion museum famous for its innovative and award-winning exhibitions. The museum has been the site of more than 200 exhibitions since the 1970s, and Exhibitionism commemorates approximately 33 of the most influential of these,

including

Fashion and Surrealism

(1987), a groundbreaking show that explored the relationship between art and fashion;

The Corset

(2000), a beautiful and brilliant exploration of the most controversial garment in fashion history; and

Fairy Tale Fashion (2016), a magical look at the such enchanted and emblematic items as the glass slipper and the red riding hood.

Exhibitionism

also includes highlights from more recent,

award-winning exhibitions, such as A Queer History of Fashion: From the Closet to the Catwalk

(2013) and

Black Fashion Designers

(2017). Each exhibition included in the book are illustrated using installation photos, images of individual garments, and texts

that explain the importance of the exhibition and the objects it featured. The authors

provide an engaging, ""behind the scenes"" look at the process of exhibition making."
