The exhibition also highlights the aberrant beauty in flawed objects, giving precedence to garments that have been altered, left unfinished, or deconstructed. These selections underscore one elemental fact about clothing: that it is designed to be worn and has, in some cases, been worn out.
Re-purposed garments are made from existing clothing or textiles into something new. Such designs highlight both the resourcefulness of their makers and the lasting value of the materials.
Unfinished garments initially may not seem worthy of inclusion in a museum collection, but they can provide fascinating insight into the processes of making fashion.
Distressed and deconstructed fashion has a deliberately worn or imperfect aesthetic — a concept that became increasingly important during the latter half of the twentieth century.
Fashion Unraveled is organized by Colleen Hill, curator of costume and accessories at The Museum at FIT.
