Trend-ology at the Fashion Institute of Technology

Fashion trends are constantly changing. A single shift in print, color, material, embellishment, or silhouette may quickly become a major new trend. Yet while the contemporary fashion press tirelessly reports the latest trend news, it offers scant insight into where trends originate. Utilizing 100 objects from the museum’s permanent collection, Trend-ology examines the diverse sources from which fashion trends have emerged over the past 250 years, including urban street style, art, music, film, and socio-political movements. Whilst at the Fashion Institute of Technology I had the opportunity to visit the exhibition, even though pictures weren't allowed I managed to sneak a few.
