Fashion at Museum of Modern Art

If we did this exhibition at the FHM we would get complaints. There are maybe a half dozen interesting artifacts in the show, but for the most part it looks like a shop of contemporary, boring artifacts that you could find in a thrift shop. MOMA forgot that people like to look at nice things in museums. It is the antithesis of the Dior exhibition in Paris, which has too much pretty to take it all in. The MOMA show looks like the contents of a book - the 100 most iconic pieces of clothing from the last century...
 
Thanks for sharing this! I had never heard of Bernard Rudofsky, and really love both his plaster figures and the buttons and pockets charts!
