On our last visit to New York we saw the fantastic Manus X Machina exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! Exhibits are always exquisite and we were lucky enough to be in New York at the time this fabulous exhibit was on display.
The exhibition focuses on the reconciliation of handmade and machine-made clothes in the creation of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear. It features over 150 outfits from the early 20th century to the present and aims to highlight the relationship between hand design creation vs. machine design creation.
The exhibit also features 3D printing fashion, computer modeling, bonding and laminating, laser cutting, and ultrasonic welding. Some of the haute couture labels incorporating 3D printing into their collections in the MET exhibit are Chanel’s 2015-2016 collection and Iris Van Herpen’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection.
This was a joy to see! I also purchased the exhibit book, which was worth it as I will now always be able to go back and look at the images, in addition to those I took! It is also a great coffee table book. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
