Inspired by The Costume Institute’s Women Dressing Women exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Metrograph presents a series of films featuring costumes by women fashion designers, for women on screen. The designers—Gabrielle Chanel, Pauline Trigère, Mary Quant, Vivienne Westwood, and Miuccia Prada—are brought on to provide costuming for their recognizable aesthetic, often for female roles, resulting in a synergy between the designer’s sensibility and the fictional characters they dress.
Women Dressing Women (December 7, 2023–March 3, 2024) explores the creativity and artistic legacy of women fashion designers from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection. The show traces a lineage of women makers from the turn of the 20th century to the present day by highlighting celebrated designers, new voices, and forgotten histories alike.
