Melinda Watt, chair and Christa C. Mayer Thurman Curator of Textiles, and Monika Bincsik, curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, discuss Fabricating Fashion and the strategies Bincsik and Watt have employed for exhibiting clothing and textiles to highlight that fashion in locations around the globe shows mutual interrelationships.
Textiles are fundamentally important in creating silhouette and aesthetics, the final design is determined by the fabric’s unique qualities. "Fabricating Fashion" celebrates the many makers of these fabrics-from the professionally trained to the self-taught. In doing so, the exhibition invites us to consider the political, cultural, and social significance of fashion and contemplate what own fabric choices say.
