To kick off the press preview, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden gave a speech about the power of fashion before diving into a private tour of the exhibition. As far as the difference between the two, part one of the exhibit still on in the Anna Wintour Costume Center, <em>In America: A Lexicon of Fashion<\/em>, was a modern viewing of fashion that has impacted American culture, while \u201cAn Anthology of Fashion\u201d gives more recognition to the designers and dressmakers of the past. The second leg took a different approach than previous Costume Institutes&#8217; exhibitions, as head curator Andrew Bolton and the Met&#8217;s American Wing asked nine prominent directors to depict their visual interpretation of forgotten designers&#8217; stories, incorporating 100 men&#8217;s and women\u2019s pieces created in the 19th century to the mid 20th century into 13 rooms. Directors Tom Ford, Radha Blank, Janicza Bravo, Sofia Coppola, Autumn de Wilde, Julie Dash, Regina King, Martin Scorsese, and Chlo\u00e9 Zhao directed each room and when asked how Bolton decided upon these directors, he said, \u201cWe wanted to have directors, which would have interest in the stories themselves and how those stories can reflect their film style or their interests. We were cautious about aligning the room with a director interested in telling that story and who would bring their filming style to enhance that particular story.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This exhibition brings the realities of American fashion into play, both its celebratory wins and some of the dreadful memories. Pieces featured include works from Ann Lowe, Charles James, Stephen Burrows, and Fannie Criss, who created a thriving business in Richmond just after the abolition. The \u201cBattle of Versailles\u201d room is a standout display directed by Tom Ford, which depicts the competition between American and European fashion designers in 1973 with mannequins positioned in war-like stances. The exhibition opens to the public on May 7 and will run through September 5, which will also be when the first part, \u201cIn America: A Lexicon of Fashion.\u201d closes. <\/p>\n<p><center\/>All
