Dear Shaded Viewers,
The New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a new exhibition called “About Time: Fashion and Duration” which compares design over 150 years, from the years 1870 to 2020. The exhibition opened its doors on October 28th and will continue until February 2021.
If you are an Iris van Herpen fan like me, you can see the iconic “Hybrid Holism” gown displayed in the hall with mirrors in About Time exhibition and the iconic “Skeleton” dress displayed in “Making the Met: 1870 – 2020” exhibition.
