Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion

The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibition, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, reactivates our senses with unique tools of artificial intelligence and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes.

Utilizing 220 garments & accessories we are connected to nature in incredible ways (hello wall with flower smells!). I was in awe of all the pieces I saw.

From LOEWE to McQueen & even H&M! I kept gasping everywhere I looked, touched, smelled. It was really something to behold. I also got to experience—via Pepper’s ghost (Disney kids just screamed!) the most beautiful “hobble skirt”. It was gorgeous.

This exhibit ends on September 2nd. I’m happy I worked up the nerve to get to @metmuseum before it left. It's like a tradition now to go every year and also grab the accompanying book.
