FIT exhibit examines power of fashion entering 2020

Power Mode: The Force of Fashion, the new exhibit at the Museum at FIT heralds fashion’s warrior spirit to launch us into a year of a contentious reelection campaign, on the cusp of a new decade in which confronting the enemy of climate change will be the significant battle. Fashion can prepare each of us for our own personal daily reckonings while it can also mobilize society for consolidated combat. Power dressing, power heels, power suit, are all familiar terms reflecting the political, social, and economic impact of our sartorial choices.
