Museum at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology)
Seventh Avenue (at 27th St.)

Using the craftsmanship of dressmaking as inspiration, this exhibition explores the artistry and complicated construction that goes into high fashion. Showcasing a number of revolutionary fashionistas, from the obscure to the name brand (Rodarte, Halston, Rick Owens and Bonnie Cashin are just a few of the designers whose looks are on display), American Beauty aims to highlight the fashion-forward ideas and creative, handcrafted details that can be seen in modern-day clothing.
