Uncover the unique design of a Bruce Lee tracksuit. In 1971, martial arts legend and actor Bruce Lee appeared in four episodes of “Longstreet,” a television crime drama series. He wore a red two-piece tracksuit that would later become a pervasive element in the modern wardrobe. See how costume designers set about recreating the iconic tracksuit for MoMA’s new exhibition, “Items: Is Fashion Modern?”
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.
