If you were to come to New York in the near future, then you should look into American woman - Fashioning a National Identity, which is an exhibition on display at The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art until the 15th of August this year.
The exhibition shows the evolution of the perception of the American woman from 1890 until 1940 and how it influenced the perception of today's woman.
By focusing on American female archetypes through dresses, the exhibition shows how fashion develop-ment reflected her social, political and sexual liberation. How the "Gibson girls", bohemians and film divas laid the foundation for today's American women.
In July American Vogue publishes a report from The Costume Institute´s big Ball on the occasion of its opening on 3 May. Check out the exhibition at The Met´s official website here.
