MET,... IMPOSSIBLE CONVERSATIONS.

The exhibition organized by 

The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art 

is Schiaparelli and Prada,

T

The exhibition, on view from May 10 through August 19, 2012 , 

explores the striking affinities between these two Italian

 designers from different eras.

Arranged in seven themed galleries:
 "Waist Up/Waist Down,"
 "Ugly Chic," 
"Hard Chic," 
"Naïf Chic," 
"The Classical Body," 
"The Exotic Body,"
"The Surreal Body."



Inspired by Miguel Covarrubias’s satirical 

“Impossible Interviews” for Vanity Fair in the 1930s, 

curators Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton orchestrate 

conversations between these iconic women to suggest new 

readings of the designers’ most innovative work.
