Nature has inspired both art and fashion for hundreds of years. In Force of Nature, more than 95 objects from the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology’s permanent collection are placed within a context of period philosophies and scientific literature in order to demonstrate this deep interconnectedness.
The exhibition showcases designs that reference nature directly and others that can be interpreted within a framework of science. The Force of Nature resources site provides supplemental information about subjects introduced in the exhibition. See the exhibition now on view through November 18 and watch the exhibition trailer.
