“Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the latest Costume Institute exhibition, opens on Friday, May 10th.
The subject of this year’s Costume Institute exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” has felt a little elusive since it was announced in November, but at the press preview that took place ahead of its opening on May 10, its intentions were crystal clear. “Fashion is a living art form that requires most of our senses for its fullest appreciation, and greatest understanding,” explained Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge at the Costume Institute.
” Smell, believe it or not, is also an important part of the show; as the curator explained, scent molecules were extracted from dresses and accessories that “reveal the personal olfactory imprint of the wearer; derived not only from the choice of fragrance but also from the natural body odors as well as their singular habits and lifestyle.
