Go inside "In America: An Anthology of Fashion"—our stunning new exhibition in The Met's American Wing period rooms exploring hidden narratives in American fashion—with curator Andrew Bolton as your guide. Learn more and plan your visit: met.org/InAmericaAntho… #MetInAmerica
This is how you do inspired by history
Simple yet brilliant.
Truly hope “Anthology” is stronger than “Lexicon of Fashion” which was just a pretentious sheen trying to hide a total lack of depth. It felt like an excuse for Wintour to show off her friends’ work (no fault of the designers) & fell far from Met standards. In my humble opinion.

It’s true.
Spotted at the Scott house in this week’s episode of #GildedAge, one of my favorite historical photos. This shot of two unidentified women was taken c1900, nearly 20 years after the show is set. But let’s be honest, we’re not watching it for its historical design accuracy.
Now that’s fashion.
