And this year\u2019s exhibition, \u201cCostume Art,\u201d seeks not just to address this tantalizingly complex issue, but to explore it in all its many facets. The central thesis is as simple as it is thrilling: pair existing artworks with corresponding garments or accessories and let your synapses fire. The very layout of the show\u2014broken into sections that move from Biblical nudity to the au courant idea of body diversity to the ways in which we\u2019ve long used clothes not merely to adorn but to subvert and distort the body\u2014indicates just how richly drawn this subject is and why it\u2019s mesmerized artists since time immemorial.<\/p>\n<p>Sin\u00e9ad Burke, CEO of Tilting the Lens, emphasizes how this exhibit highlights bodies that have traditionally been overlooked, and as someone with a physical disability, she is among those featured. Her body has been memorialized in the exhibition as a custom mannequin, alongside model and musician Aariana Rose Philip, transforming their presence into a lasting part of the narrative around representation, fashion, and identity.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, this exhibition will be the first in the costume department\u2019s new home, the Conde M. Nast Galleries. Once relegated to a modest 4,500-square-foot space in the museum\u2019s basement, the department will now take flight in a grand, 12,000-square-foot display room on the ground floor, just off the central Great Hall. It is, says Max Hollein, the museum\u2019s director, a symbol of how important clothing has become to The Met\u2019s mission in exploring the many facets of art in the modern age. \u201cWe collect paintings, sculptures, textiles, arms and armor, but especially all the fashion,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd we want to make sure that it\u2019s understood that fashion is a fantastic form of art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Featuring testimonials from Misty Copeland, Alex Consani, Gwendoline Christie, Aimee Mullins,  Sin\u00e9ad Burke, Aariana Rose Philip and more.<\/p>\n<p>Director: Nina Ljeti<br \/>\nDirectors of Photography: Michael Lopez, Henry Gill<br \/>\nEditor: Evan Allan<\/p>\n<p>Senior Producer: Bety Dereje<br \/>\nProducer: Rashida Josiah<br \/>\nAssociate Producers: Anisa Kennar, Justine Ramirez, Lea Donenberg<br \/>\nCamera Operator: Chanthila Phaophanit\u00a0<br \/>\nAssistant Camera: Kahdeem Prosper Jefferson, Gordan Wong<br \/>\nGaffers: Billy Voermann, Mary Kalecinska<br \/>\nSwing: Alex Frischman<br \/>\nAudio: Mariya Chulichkova, Joanna Hunt\u00a0<br \/>\nSet Designers: Ilana Portney, Dana Keren<br \/>\nProduction Assistants: Quinton Johnson, Myles Haywood<br \/>\nRunners: Edie Chesters, Rachel Ademidun<\/p>\n<p>Groomer for Andrew Bolton: Shin Arima<br \/>\nMakeup Artist for Sin\u00e9ad Burke and Alex Consani: Ai Yokomizo<br \/>\nHairstylist for Sin\u00e9ad Burke and Alex Consani: Sonny Molina<br \/>\nMakeup Artist for Misty Copeland: Victor Henao<br \/>\nHairstylist for Misty Copeland: Nai&#8217;vasha Grace<br \/>\nMakeup Artist for Aariana Philip: Meadow Soleil Cloud<br \/>\nMakeup Artist for Gwendoline Christie: Daniel Kolaric<br \/>\nHairstylist for Gwendoline Christie: Joe Kelly<br \/>\nHair &#038; Makeup Artist for Aimee Mullins: Ste\u0300fan Jemeel<\/p>\n<p>Production Coordinator: Tan\u00eda Jones<br \/>\nProduction Manager: Kristen Helmick<br \/>\nSenior Production Manager: Venita Singh-Warner<br \/>\nLine Producer: Natasha Soto-Albors<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Editors: Andy Morell, Fynn Lithgow<br \/>\nSenior Motion Graphics Designer: Samuel Fuller<br \/>\nPost Production Coordinator: Holly Frew<br \/>\nSupervising Editor: Kameron Key<br \/>\nPost Production Supervisor: Alexa Deutsch<\/p>\n<p>Entertainment Director: Sergio Kletnoy<br \/>\nGlobal Talent Casting Directors: Ignacio Murillo, Morgan Senesi<br \/>\nExecutive Producer: Rahel Gebreyes<br \/>\nSenior Director, Digital Video: Romy van den Broeke<br \/>\nSenior Director, Programming: Linda Gittleson<br \/>\nVP, Video Programming: Thespena Guatieri<\/p>\n<p>Florist: London Blooming Haus<br \/>\nPhotography By Paul Westlake<br \/>\nImages Courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/p>\n<p>Special Thanks: The Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/p>\n<p>Still haven\u2019t subscribed to Vogue on YouTube? \u25ba\u25ba http:\/\/bit.ly\/vogueyoutubesub<br \/>\nGet the best of Vogue delivered right in your inbox \u25ba\u25ba https:\/\/bit.ly\/3xAZyQg<br \/>\nSubscribe to the magazine \u25ba\u25ba http:\/\/vogue.com\/subscribe_yt<br \/>\nDownload the Vogue App \u25ba\u25ba https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/vogue-runway-more\/id289380413<br \/>\nCheck out &#8216;The Run-Through with Vogue&#8217; podcast  \u25ba\u25ba https:\/\/swap.fm\/l\/vogue-trt-youtube<\/p>\n<p>Vogue YouTube Channels:<\/p>\n<p>British Vogue: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@britishvogue<br \/>\nVogue Taiwan: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@voguetvtaiwan<br \/>\nVogue France: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VogueFrance<br \/>\nVogue India: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VogueIndia<br \/>\nVogue Japan: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VogueJapan<br \/>\nVogue M\u00e9xico y Latinoam\u00e9rica: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VogueMexicoyLatinoamerica<br \/>\nVogue Germany: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VogueGermany<br \/>\nVogue Italia: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VogueItalia<br \/>\nVogue Spain: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VogueSpain<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT VOGUE<br \/>\nVogue is the authority on fashion news, culture trends, beauty coverage, videos, celebrity style, and fashion week updates.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6x9GdFhf810\">Video Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFashion is very much an art form not in spite of the body, but because of it,\u201d says Andrew Bolton, OBE, curator in charge of the Costume Institute.
