Using the craftsmanship of dressmaking as inspiration, this exhibition explores the artistry and complicated construction that goes into high fashion. Showcasing a number of revolutionary fashionistas, from the obscure to the name brand (Rodarte, Halston, Rick Owens and Bonnie Cashin are just a few of the designers whose looks are on display), American Beauty aims to highlight the fashion-forward ideas and creative, handcrafted details that can be seen in modern-day clothing.
