The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's new exhibit, The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion, will feature work by Jed Root, Inc.'s Michael Thompson. Per the Press Release:
The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion, the spring 2009 exhibition organized by The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, explores the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, focusing on iconic fashion models in the latter half of the 20th century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras...
The exhibition features approximately 80 masterworks of haute couture and ready-to-wear. Fashion editorial, advertising, and runway photography plus large-scale projections from feature films are used throughout the galleries to contextualize the fashion zeitgeist.
The exhibition opens next week at the Met on May 6th and runs through August 9, 2009.
Really Nice Exhibit!!
