'In America: A Lexicon of Fashion' is the first of an ambitious two-part series set to contextualize American fashion design.
"Together, these designs and their emotions establish a concise dictionary of American fashion," Bolton said. "Our intention is for this vocabulary to expand into a more comprehensive dictionary as visitors engage with the garments and react with their own emotional connections."
Most impressive is that more than half of the exhibition is comprised of emerging designers, many of whom have their garments displayed in the Met for the first time. The timing of this first part to New York Fashion Week was chosen to kick off a year-long celebration of the American fashion industry, and, according to Bolton, it won't remain static, either; pieces will be swapped out for others in the Met archive over the life of the exhibition.
"In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" examines the present to try and redefine the past — which will be necessary, considering that the most ambitious aspect of the exhibition is the fact that it's only the first of two.
