It is such a shame the FIT is closed at the moment. Such a great place to visit especially if you are studying fashion. I think clothing is a form of art, in fact it is probably the one form of art that we are all into. I mean think about it, what we wear tells you what we are into. Our visual style tells the external world what we are e.g. a peacock or a pigeon! The FIT shows fashion from all ages and I think if you go back before social media, before TV and even before radio the fashions of the day were more creative than they are today. It’s such a shame we don’t put more effort into dressing up, I mean apart from it being fun it’s also a great way to put a little extra style and coolness back in the otherwise grey clothing pallet of modern post grunge.
The Museum at FIT is the only museum in New York City dedicated solely to the art of fashion, and features innovative and award-winning exhibitions. The museum's Fashion Culture special programs run year-round and include exhibition talk and tours, fashion conversations with leading designers, lectures and book signings. Admission to the exhibitions is always free.
They do not have a gym, so why they want to confused us with the word FIT?
By far, one of the best free museums with many changing exhibits. The actual period pieces, in a specific motif or genre, through the decades, are each represented. Many stories behind the creations are in the context regarding the milieu of (mostly) past specific celebrities or royalty. Anyone who has been a tailor or seamstress, fabric supplier, pattern-maker, family in the fashion industry, or just about anyone who has it together sartorially - must come here to see what I mean.nYou can take photos but the guards get irate when you use a flash.
This is a fun and free museum! I would recommend stopping by if you happen to be in the garment district. The relatively small exhibition space means you can actually see everything in a reasonable time, and the rotating exhibits mean that there's always something new to see.
