Fashion Institute of Technology. One of the great treasures of the fashion history world is the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
At any time there is at least one exhibition, and often there are more. And quite incredibly for a city where everything is expensive, the museum is free of charge. The exhibition this summer has been RetroSpective, in which the relationship that fashion has with past fashion is explored. This is a topic of special interest to vintage clothing lovers like me.
It seems like we are always discussing the past influences that show up on the runway or in more recent fashion. Fashion History Costume Trends and Eras, Trends Victorians - Haute Couture. The History of Costume - Index #1. Click On Picture To Enlarge It (100K).
