Summary

The "Bloom" exhibition is a celebration of the flower as a symbol of beauty in fashion’s huge bouquet of floral themes. The exhibition explores flowers in fashion encompassing botany, beauty, and bounty, with costumes arranged by theme rather than chronologically. Chosen principally from the collection of The Costume Institute, the exhibition includes such highlights as a 17th-century bodice with natural forms in miniature described with scientific clarity as well as 18th-century dresses of floral patterns complemented by silk fringe adornment of similar flowers in three dimensions. In addition, men’s 18th-century waistcoats and coats richly embroidered with floral forms will be shown, along with symbolic and keepsake flowers of Victorian dress. Accessories sprout flora for hats, shoes, and handbags--Adapted from exhibition description.
