"Black Fashion Designers"
examines the impact of African American and African designers on the fashion industry.
Drawing exclusively from The Museum at FIT’s permanent collection, the exhibition features
approximately 70 fashion objects that illustrate the individual styles of more than 30 designers,
placing them within a wider fashion context.
To be held December 2016 – May 2017

"Force of Nature"
Force of Nature is a unique exhibition that explores how the beauty and complexity of nature
have inspired fashion designers for centuries. More than a survey of decorative flora and fauna,
this exhibition reveals the natural world as a source of ideas and symbolism in fashion design.
To be held May 30 – November 18, 2017

"Expedition: Fashion from the Extreme"
Expedition: Fashion from the Extreme examines high fashion inspired by clothing made for survival
in the most inhospitable environments on earth and beyond. Today’s luxurious parkas trace their roots
to the “heroic era” of polar navigation (1890 to 1922), while down-filled “puffer” coats and backpacks
were originally perfected for extreme mountain climbing in the mid-twentieth century. Experimental,
high tech materials made for exploration to otherworldly realms — such as neoprene (deep sea)
and Mylar (outer space) — made their way onto the runway.
To be held September 15, 2017 – January 6, 2018

"The Body: Fashion and Physique"
Explores the complex history of the “perfect” body in fashion.
To be held December 5, 2017 – May, 2018

"Fashion Unraveled"
Fashion Unraveled will examine the concepts of imperfection and incompletion in fashion.
Garments that are altered, unfinished, or deconstructed, in addition to clothing that shows
signs of wear, will highlight the aberrant beauty in flawed objects.
To be held May, 2018 – November, 2018

"Pink: A History of Pink in Fashion, Art & Culture"
Explores the changing significance of pink over the past three centuries, not only in the west but around the world.
To be held September, 2018 – January, 2019

"Past Is Present: Revival Jewelry"
Whether copying or choosing motifs to reinterpret, jewelers have always looked to the past for inspiration.
The practice became popular in the 19th century, as designers like Castellani, Giacinto Melillo and Eugene Fontenay
began reviving examples of ancient ornaments, newly unearthed in archaeological excavations. Examine more than 4,000 years
of jewelry history through about 70 objects — both ancient and revival.

and Italy’s Metamorfosi Associazione Culturale, explores the dramatic changes in the artist’s style and subject matter—from
poetic depictions of classical gods and goddesses to austere sacred themes—reflecting the shifting political and religious
climate of Florence during his lifetime.
To be held April 15, 2017 – July 9, 2017

they represent a type of art that was totally unknown in the West when they entered the Museum’s collection a century ago.
Even in India, Rajput painting was then little recognized.
