This interactive exhibit will take visitors on a sensory journey, exploring the rich history of fashion through an experiential lens that transcends visual appreciation.
“Once a garment comes into the Met’s collection, all of that is diminished. You can’t touch anymore. You can’t smell it, you can’t hear it, you can’t wear it. So, the idea – so all you are left with is a sense of sight, really. So, the idea was really to just sort of bring back these sensorial qualities of fashion that is part of its living art form. So that was really the idea behind it,” said Andrew Bolton, the curator in charge at the museum.
Throughout the space, technology is used to activate visitor’s five senses. Artificial intelligence, computer-generated imagery, x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes, the exhibition will evoke the smells, sounds, textures, and motions of garments that can no longer directly interact with the body.
The exhibition features 220 garments, spanning four centuries of fashion history with a theme of nature.
“All of the garments are connected somehow to the natural environment. And I think the main idea for that is that nature is this ultimate metaphor for fashion, this idea of rebirth and renewal, but also these ideas of ephemerality and impermanence or transience. So, in a way, fashion became this sort of like unifying thread throughout the exhibition and also have this bigger message about fashion in general,” explained Bolton.
This year’s celebrity co-chair’s for the fundraising dinner are Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya. -Report from Reuters
