MOMA Announces ‘Is Fashion Modern?’ Exhibit, An Examination Of The Everyday

July 23, 2017. 2 Comments

New York’s MOMA has announced plans for an upcoming exhibit titled “Is Fashion Modern?,” an examination of fashion’s place a marker of human identity. The exhibit title riffs off of the museum’s Bernard Rudofsky-curated, 1944 exhibit “Are Clothes Modern?,” the last, entirely fashion-focused exhibit held by the museum.

In speaking on the connection between the exhibit, press reads, “While we have kept his use of a provocative question, we have deliberately replaced Rudofsky’s use of ‘clothes’ with ‘fashion’ to signal the complex relationship between the design of garments and contemporaneity, and to locate our own questions about what is modern in the items that have defined the decades since his show.”

Rather than highlight a designer or a theme, ‘Is Fashion Modern?” will focus in large part on the everyday by taking on the anthropological significance of enduring articles of clothing like Levi‘s 501 jeans, Converse All-Star sneakers and iconic little black dress.

According to a press description of the exhibit, “Items will consist of a selection of 111 garments and accessories that have had a strong impact on history and society in the 20th and 21st centuries, and that continue to hold currency today. Each of the 111 items will be explored along three tiers: archetype, stereotype, and prototype. In the exhibition, each item will be presented in the incarnation that made it significant in the last 100 (or so) years—the stereotype—accompanied by contextual material (documentary, scholarly, aesthetic, or personal histories of clothing) that trace back to the historical archetype.”

“Is Fashion Modern?” will open on on October 1, 2017 through January 28th.

You're looking at Margeret Zhang, the newly appoin You're looking at Margeret Zhang, the newly appointment Vogue China editor-in-chief. At 27, she's Vogue's youngest edtior. Born in Australia, Zhang began her career in fashion in 2009 with a blog titled Shine By Three. While blogging, Zhang was also attending school and posseses a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Law from the University of Sydney.

INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was sho INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot in Los Angeles by individual who then stole two of three of her French Bulldogs! The crime took place at 10 PM on Wednesday night in Hollywood. 

According to a recent TMZ update, crime scene video has emerged showing a white car rolling up on the dog walker. Two men emerge from the vehicle and one, who is brandishing a gun, tells the dog walker, "Give it up."

The dog walker put up a fight (!!) before the gun goes off, striking him in the chest. The two thiefs each grab one dog and flee the scene. In the video, the black dog shown here, whose name is Asia, manages to escape and is shown running back to the fallen dog walker. 

Gaga, who is currently in Rome working on a project, is currently offering at $500,00 award for the safe return of Koji and Gustav (on the slide). The dog walker was hospitalized but thankfully will recover.
