The Museum at FIT

Fashion Institute of Technology


FIT's current exhibition, The Force of Nature, analyses the impact of the natural world on fashion. Amongst the leopard Capri Pants and the Olympic swimsuit which simulates a shark's skin was this cocktail dress from Sak's 1953 collection, which was inspired by the 1950s' fascination with stars, constellations and space exploration. The idea was that science would bring peace and hope to a world held in fear by the threat of nuclear war. Afterwards, I walked over to Union Square to see the aftermath of Mrs. Clinton's book signing. The Hillary haters were still there, leaning over the barricades and hissing slogans at anyone walking by.
