Fashioning America: Grit to Glamour
Fashioning America: Grit to Glamour at Crystal Bridges celebrates American style icons while spotlighting the immigrant, Indigenous, and Black designers long left out of mainstream fashion.
AMERICAN FASHION HAS been transmitted across the planet in movies and other media as a heightened and often myopic view of the country’s diverse style. Fashioning America: Grit to Glamour at Crystal Bridges celebrates style icons like zoot suits and denim while recognizing designers who have often been left out of mainstream fashion, with an emphasis on the immigrant, Indigenous, and Black designers pivotal in making decades of clothing into international trends.
Fashioning America: Grit to Glamour is on view at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art through January 30, 2023. crystalbridges.org
