"Old Hollywood Glamour" Part II

As I saw earlier this week, The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened its newest exhibit, "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity", at the Costume Institute in New York.
Curator Andrew Bolton fashioned his exhibit to celebrate 4 decades of fashion. These decades were represented by the 'Gibson Girl", "Bohemian", "Flapper, and "Screen Siren".

"Old Hollywood Glamour"


The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened its newest exhibit at the Costume Institute in New York. This exhibit entitle "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity" was premiered during the Metropolitan Opera's annual benefit gala where a cartel of celebrities demonstrated their own expression of "Old Hollywood Glamour".


This Red Carpet event was ushered in by three of Hollywood's fashion staples:


media icon Oprah Winfrey




GAP creative director Patrick Robinson




vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour










Andrew Bolton, curator of "American Woman", explored a legacy of a strong American fashion identity spanning from the 1890's to the 1930's. These decadal fashion modes include "Gibson Girl", "Bohemian", "Flapper", and "Screen Siren."
