Items: Is Fashion Modern?
explores the present, past—and sometimes the future—of 111 items of clothing
and accessories that have had a strong impact on the world in the 20th and 21st
centuries—and continue to hold currency today. Among them are pieces as well-known
and transformative as the Levi’s 501s, the Breton shirt, and the Little Black
Dress, and as ancient and culturally charged as the sari, the pearl necklace,
the kippah, and the keffiyeh. Items will also invite some designers, engineers,
and manufacturers to respond to some of these indispensable items with
pioneering materials, approaches, and techniques—extending this conversation
into the near and distant futures, and connecting the history of these garments
with their present recombination and use. Driven first and foremost by objects,
not designers, the exhibition considers the many relationships between fashion
and functionality, culture, aesthetics, politics, labor, identity, economy, and
technology.
The Items: Is Fashion
Modern? exhibition catalogue, by Paola Antonelli and Michelle Millar Fisher, is
available now.
Organized by Paola
Antonelli, Senior Curator, and Michelle Millar Fisher, Curatorial Assistant,
Department of Architecture and Design.
