Blog.Mode at The Met

We’re pretty stoked about the Blog.Mode special exhibition at the Met. The Costume Institute will be putting several avant guarde acquisitions on display in hopes of promoting “critical and creative dialogues” on fashion. The piece in the photo above is from Junya Watanabe’s 2000 collection. There’s set to be 40 costumes going all the way back to the 18th century to present day. The exhibition is made possible by the person I call the quintessential shoe artist Manolo Blahnik.

What has us really stoked about this exhibition though is the involvement of blogging. Visitors will be able to blog about pieces from the exhibit on the Met’s special page created specifically for blogging. They’re also setting up… wait for this one… a “blog bar” at the exhibition itself where visitors can also blog about the pieces. The Costume Institute curators and designers are also getting in on the blogging. It’ll be a blogging good time. Take a look at the page here.
