"Curios and Treasures at The Costume Institute"
2000-08-15 until 2001-01-21
Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY, USA

Drawn from the Costume Institute's holdings of some 75,000 objects spanning seven centuries, this installation features clothing and accessories that have never or rarely been on view. The selection ranges from Elizabethan gauntlets and doublets to examples of such 19th- and 20th-century fashion phenomena as the Aesthetic Dress movement, promoted through the work of the British firm of Liberty & Co., and the designs of Mariano Fortuny, whose flowing silk creations graced such luminaries as Isadora Duncan and Eleonora Duse.
