Last week, I got the chance to go uptown and visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I’ve visited the museum a couple of times, but I wanted to see one exhibit in particular this time. I went up and got to the exhibit, “Items: Is Fashion Modern?” I found it interesting because it showed the various changes in fashion throughout society. Especially when compared to clothing and fashion choices today, everything has become very different. There was one piece that was just a plain, white t-shirt. It was so simple, but still a staple in many people’s closets today. Everyone owns a white shirt, jeans, and for women, even maybe a black dress. Some pieces of clothing are timeless and this exhibit showed that clearly. However, compared to today, fashion has become both simple and complex. Now, everyone has different opinions in their fashion choices and freedom to wear what they want. While we still wear these white shirts and jeans, we also incorporated different ideas to make them modern. But, at the same time people still like to keep it simple and classic. Even today, I have at least one white t-shirt because it goes with pretty much anything. This visit to MoMA helped me remember how much people have changed and stayed the same at times, like fashion.
