In the last few years, the fashion industry has made some serious strides in promoting diversity and inclusion through progressive clothing offerings that are revolting against rigid prescriptions of gender—but this trend is actually anything but new.
For decades, designers have been pushing the envelope, creating haute couture and ready-to-wear designs that have challenged the long-established gendering of fashion. And this idea is now the topic of a new exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts.
Michelle Finamore, curator of Fashion Arts at the MFA and the mastermind behind the exhibition, says the idea initially grew out of her own design research, which typically revolves around gender and fashion."Previously, I had curated an exhibition called 'Think Pink' in 2014, which looked at the gendering of color, that served as a launchpad for this exhibit," she told NYLON over the phone.
Rattling expectations around gender and clothing, the garments on display reflect many of the societal shifts that have occurred in the past century; this includes the evolution of gender roles, the increase in visibility of the queer community, and the ways in which social media has become a colorful tool for self-expression and establishing a deep sense of belonging.
Working closely with the major art institution, Schmaling made a point to include"one photo for each subject using a shutter drag technique, rendering each subject in one frame simultaneously crystalline and in technicolor motion, [and] speaking to the fluidity and ever-evolving quality of gender and presentation.
