“Fashion is very much an art form not in spite of the body, but because of it,” says Andrew Bolton, OBE, curator in charge of the Costume Institute. And this year’s exhibition, “Costume Art,” seeks not just to address this tantalizingly complex issue, but to explore it in all its many facets. The central thesis is as simple as it is thrilling: pair existing artworks with corresponding garments or accessories and let your synapses fire. The very layout of the show—broken into sections that move from Biblical nudity to the au courant idea of body diversity to the ways in which we’ve long used clothes not merely to adorn but to subvert and distort the body—indicates just how richly drawn this subject is and why it’s mesmerized artists since time immemorial.
Sinéad Burke, CEO of Tilting the Lens, emphasizes how this exhibit highlights bodies that have traditionally been overlooked, and as someone with a physical disability, she is among those featured. Her body has been memorialized in the exhibition as a custom mannequin, alongside model and musician Aariana Rose Philip, transforming their presence into a lasting part of the narrative around representation, fashion, and identity.
Additionally, this exhibition will be the first in the costume department’s new home, the Conde M. Nast Galleries. Once relegated to a modest 4,500-square-foot space in the museum’s basement, the department will now take flight in a grand, 12,000-square-foot display room on the ground floor, just off the central Great Hall. It is, says Max Hollein, the museum’s director, a symbol of how important clothing has become to The Met’s mission in exploring the many facets of art in the modern age. “We collect paintings, sculptures, textiles, arms and armor, but especially all the fashion,” he says. “And we want to make sure that it’s understood that fashion is a fantastic form of art.”

Ciara is so cute!
I used to use body soap on my face also and it was making me have dry skin. One day someone told me to wash my face with Black Soap let it air dry and then put Raw Shea Butter on my face afterwards ????????❤️ Changed my whole life!

Ciara does it right she doesn’t indulge with the lip fillers and drastic surgeries and she doesn’t fit into the beauty trends and that’s what makes her stand out ( and of course her natural beauty) everyone nowadays look alike Botox , filler in face, filler in the lips etc etc she on the other hand has the I woke up like this / effortless girl next door look and she stands out because so many people try to have that look like it’s effortless but they do it all wrong with the injections etc. love how Ciara stay true to herself. Essence of a true beauty inside and out. Bomb personality to match!
