The Metropolitan Museum of Art Friends of The Costume Institute hosted a cocktail party during Paris Couture Week, bringing together fashion and art enthusiasts for a celebration of craft and preservation. The event, held at the home of Hassan Pierre, provided a platform for discussions about fashion as art and the future of haute couture pieces as museum exhibits.
The Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, takes a unique approach by incorporating scent into the display. Artist Sissel Tolaas has infused the exhibition with aromas from the garments themselves, prompting visitors to experience fashion in a multi-sensory way. The exhibition showcases a diverse collection from the Met’s own archives, highlighting themes of nature, rebirth, and renewal in fashion.
Vogue Club members gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an exclusive Night at the Museum event. The event showcased the highly anticipated spring 2024 Costume Institute exhibition, highlighting approximately 250 items from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection. Guests enjoyed a cocktail party, private viewing of the exhibition, and passed canapes prepared by Olivier Cheng. The exhibition explored evolving attitudes to the natural world through manipulation of natural materials in garments.
