Articulating eight decades of American style through the emotive
language of clothing-from celebrated designers that established the
modern legacy of sportswear to emerging creatives shaping the
future of fashion in the United States "The design of the
exhibition and the catalog is straightforward and
compartmentalized, allowing the clothes to speak for themselves and
contain their own narratives."-Laird Borrelli-Persson, Vogue.com
This new presentation of American fashion features a revised
vocabulary that emphasizes its expressive qualities. Stunning new
photography showcases over 100 garments from the 1940s to the
present that offer a timely new perspective on the diverse and
multifaceted nature of American fashion. The catalogue features
works that display qualities such as belonging, comfort, desire,
exuberance, fellowship, joy, nostalgia, optimism, reverence,
spontaneity, strength, and sweetness by designers, from the
pioneers who established the nation's style to the up-and-coming
creatives shaping its future. In America: A Lexicon of Fashion
includes designs by Gilbert Adrian, Geoffrey Beene, Thom Browne,
Bonnie Cashin, Willy Chavarria, Telfar Clemens, Dauphinette (Olivia
Cheng), Oscar de la Renta (Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim), Denim
Tears (Tremaine Emory), Perry Ellis, Tom Ford, Rudi Gernreich,
