Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion at the Brooklyn Museum (Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing and Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery, 5F): https://allaplusessays.com/order (this is a website for the exhibition) If you can save time, you must go and see the exhibition in person. This is a short summary from the museum’s website: Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion is the first New York retrospective in forty years to focus on the legendary couturier. Drawn primarily from Pierre Cardin’s archive, the exhibition traverses the designer’s decades-long career at the forefront of fashion invention. Known today for his bold, futuristic looks of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, Cardin extended his design concepts from fashion to furniture, industrial design, and beyond. The exhibition presents over 170 objects drawn from his atelier and archive, including historical and contemporary haute couture, prêt-à-porter, trademark accessories, “couture” furniture, lighting, fashion sketches, personal photographs, and excerpts from television, documentaries, and feature films. The objects are displayed in an immersive environment inspired by Cardin’s unique atelier designs, showrooms, and homes.

Also which work in Pierre Cardin’s collection “display” or “present” a new spectacle of his own time? How did it become part of trendy phenomenon at that time? By celebrity endorsement, newspaper article, or popular demand of customers? Then where is a component of labor? What types of labor do you see or imagine in this work?
