Is fashion modern? MoMA Senior Curator Paola Antonelli explores this and many other questions in MoMA’s first fashion exhibition in over seventy years. Structured around a list of 111 items, from the bikini to the burkini to the original Birkin Bag, the Savile Row suit to the white T-shirt, the exhibition considers the many relationships between fashion and functionality, culture, aesthetics, politics, labor, identity, economy, and technology.

FASHION AS DESIGN is a new course by MoMA that explores a selection of garments from around the world—ranging from Kente cloth to jeans to 3D-printed dresses. Each week will begin with a conversation between the course instructors—Paola Antonelli, Michelle Fisher, and Stephanie Kramer—that introduces the themes, items, and questions that we will explore.
