FIT’s The Body; Fashion and Physique is A Perfect Fit

The Body: Fashion and Physique, the exhibition at The Museum at FIT which opened this week puts a fitting cap on a year of remarkable activity within society at large around female empowerment. One could argue that the show highlights the myriad ways fashion has oppressively wrought its misogyny on females throughout history or one could marvel at the adaptability of the human form and the extent to which women will go to follow fashion. Enslavement or enthrallment. But the clear takeaway is that women are currently demanding choice in how they will be defined by fashion.
