The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology
May 26th, 2016
The dress I chose to post pictures of was the featured dress. This dress was designed by Chanel and was the center of the whole exhibit. The detail and bead work of the dress amazed me. After going to an embroidery factory (New York Embroidery Studio), and watching the employees do the beading by hand, we were even more amazed. It is crazy the amount of the time and energy that is spent on creating it.
At the end of the exhibit we each bought a book that explained all the designs, showed the details of each design, and had questions that were answered by the designers. This book is something that we will hold onto forever and we cannot wait to re-visit the Met agains someday!
