111 iconic items that defined the ultimate century of favor

What do a Chanel dress, a Wonderbra, and Nike Air Force 1s have in common? The punch line to this setup is what visitors to New York’s Museum of Modern Art will puzzle out as they walk through its first new fashion exhibition in more than 70 years.

Items: Is Fashion Modern?, which opens Oct. 1 and runs via Jan. 28, pulls collectively 111 distinct clothes, add-ons, and other wearables—not within the technological sense. It’s a sprawling, diffuse collection, taking over the museum’s sixth ground. On display are Thirties Chinese cheongsams, an example of the Issey Miyake turtlenecks preferred by Apple founder Steve Jobs, and a 2017 Colin Kaepernick soccer jersey. Excessive-style rarities, including a famed Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking in shape from 1966, are comparably mundane items critical for being ubiquitous cultural touchstones, including Levi’s 501s and a Champion hoodie.

The curators describe the objects inside the exhibit as stereotypes: things that are the template for designs that were observed or constituted a huge concept, including “the little black dress” or “the suit.” They wish that grouping all these pieces inside the museum context, however commonplace or uncommon they will be, will make viewers bear in mind them all as intentionally designed items, related through style’s sprawling surroundings, and regularly attaining beyond it to intersect with politics, social problems, or generation.

“We without a doubt wanted the viewer to be available in and simply to begin with being overwhelmed with the aid of the range of objects,” says Stephanie Kramer, a research assistant at MoMA and the fashion professional on the curatorial group in the back of the showcase. “So have something designed using Gabrielle Chanel juxtaposed with an MTV fanny percent. Right off the bat, we need somebody to scratch their head about, ‘Whoa, all of these items are combined in one room, underneath one big umbrella of favor.'” The call, Is Fashion Modern?, riffs at the identity of the last show about fashion on the MoMA, Are Clothes Modern? Held in 1944.
