Designing Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors

Learn More
Modern female fashion designers ardently incorporated interior decoration into their professional and personal lives. This phenomenon became increasingly evident beginning in the late nineteenth century, as more women founded important couture houses in Paris, London and New York. At the same time, the field of interior decoration became a viable profession, thanks in large part to innovative ladies on both sides of the Atlantic.

Designing Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors is the first exhibition to explore the connection between these disciplines. Approximately 70 garments from The Museum at FIT’s permanent collection are on view alongside photographic images of the most compelling interiors created for leading female fashion designers from the 1890s to the 1970s. Featured creators include Jeanne Paquin, Lucile, Jeanne Lanvin, Madeleine Vionnet, Pauline Potter (later Baroness Pauline de Rothschild), and many others.

Presented chronologically, the selection of objects and images include a diverse range of spaces, from luxe couture salons and modest ateliers to private homes. Together the fashions and photographs address how and why interior decoration became such an integral part of fashion’s leading designing women.

The 2023 Visual Thesis Show, titled Pareidolia, represents the culmination of three years of graduate study for the FIT MFA Illustration candidates. Each MFA candidate develops and executes a unique body of work that represents their exploration, artistic growth, academic research, and professional development. This year the exhibition includes the work of 15 MFA candidates and consists of works on paper, collaged drawings, digital art, animation motion graphics, comics, and picture books.

Museum- Exhibition Card - Long (Redesign)

Image explorer does not open in the correct folder, on the correct asset - because there is only a property tag its very hard to locate the image used in the Insert/Edit Image tool

If you select the image in directly in the component by right clicking it, the Inser/Edit Image tool comes up, and the filename can be seen there.

Section Container - FIT Main's Snippet Test

Testing a section container to place the snippets

  • Section Container question -
    • Are there any restrictions on using it?
  • Image List (Redesign)
  • Reworked Did you Know? (Redesign) to Museum - Spotlight Feature (Redesign In House) snippet
    • Incorrect typography
    • Blue CTA button
  • Component - Program: Important Links (Redesign)

 

Image list for Museum?

The width of the copy does not extend to the full width of the Image List Container - this copy goes on and on and on, but the individual iamge copy  extends maybe 70% of the container. Also image size in section container is smaller than when used outside of one.
