How lovely. Truth be told. With each piece side by side, I found the early fashion garments much more sophisticated, elegant, interesting and appealing.
This reminds me so much of my mother, and her mother, and her mother’s mother. Fashion is a beautiful time capsule that unlocks cherished memories and roots us back to oneself.
Textures and details are hidden. I thought I was going to enjoy this but everything was obscured. They need to think of the medium they're using when producing and editing. Most people will be watching this on a small device
Thank you to the Met for creating this video!!! Thank you to Andrew Bolton and the entire staff for putting this together. I can't wait to see this exhibition, stay safe everyone
The truth is this show was a beautiful flop. In its purest, truest sense “About Time” was an exhibition about how designers take inspiration from other designers and how aesthetics always look back on themselves. That was it, that would have been more than enough explanation for the incredible masterpieces they paired together (the curation itself was brilliant). But instead they went for an overly academic and overly complicated thesis based on the extremely complicated and abstract philosophical subject of “time”, which, mind you, 97% of the general public is incapable of understanding, and which, in the end didn’t even really reflect on the pieces in the exhibition. All that people really saw were examples of fashion designers taking inspiration from the past and fashion innovating on itself through the decades, and that was beautiful and interesting enough by and in itself. This could have been the simplest and most accesible and interesting exhibition ever made by the Costume Institute, but they went for overcomplicating it instead. All of those Virginia Woolf quotes.... beautiful literature, but unnecessary for this exhibition. They did literally nothing for the clothes, didn’t explain anything about them, didn’t help people understand them better in terms of design or art. They did nothing and just made people feel there was something much deeper they had to look for and understand, when in reality all they had to do was to look at modern masterpieces reflecting on historical masterpieces. That was it. Virginia Woolf and the philosophical intricacies of time were just intellectual peacocking to make the exhibition seem more profound than it actually was or had to be. In the end, that rigid and complicated philosophical thesis almost seemed like an excuse, which the those beautiful garments certainly didn’t need. They should have just let the pieces speak for themselves.
People have always just been people! Whether we're conscious of it or not, we're all so deeply bound by the past and future---but that's a really beautiful thing if you know how to appreciate it. One thing never changes: humans love to express ourselves. We are all, constantly, ever-changing works of art.
I have to assume they weren't able to finish assembling the exhibit and that's why this format is used instead ? I would have loved to see how the actual space was presented, Andrew Bolton is a genius
The pity I see is that some designers of the late 20th century (and early 21st century) didn't seem to have many original ideas - and just re-imagined the designs of the true geniuses that preceded them.
Beautiful comparison (though I would've liked to have seen a comparison between the Lacroix dress and a Robe a la Francaise), but the sound was AWFUL. It was grating, anxiety-inducing and so LOUD. I had to mute the video entirely. I understand wanting to build atmosphere and tension, but this was terrible.
Not sure if this is only a sneak peek or this is the only garments exhibited but it’s redundant. The idea is wonderful but it’s tiresome to keep seeing the MET repeat all these looks for each fashion expo, if you want the public to really come out and see it ones everything blows over then show us something that we haven’t seen already 50 times in your expos. Source rarely seen looks from designers. At this point the only thing that I found stimulating was the original historical garments not the ones inspired by.
Yeah, I thought the repetition of the same designers over and over made their original thesis seem insubstantial. I'm hoping the show poses deeper ideas than what is shown here.
So the previous looks are from the victorian-modernist era (eras of originality), and the current looks are from the postmodernist era (era of copying), what era are we in now?
J A still copying, still not innovating, taking inspiration from the 90’s in a strange sick way to not moving forward and face the things the future/present has prepared for us...
I think we are in the era of "Blender Mixer" . Looks from the last 100+ years have been reused so people are now reusing the reused looks....mix everything up till it all became some kind of a strang looking mud. Less and less creativity and originality.
Is it means the theme for this year is about how we transform a classic look into more modern look? Is a timeless pieces also fit the theme for this year?
Ah, when fashion collided with Woolf. Fascinating.
Yes! Stay tuned for more content on About Time, and thank you for watching!
Iris Van Herpen's works always amazed me. 🤯
It's incredible that Iris Van Herpen is in this exhibition! I love her clothes!
Oh, wow. Thank you for bringing attention to this artist, I just had a look at her collections. I think she must have magical abilities.
How lovely. Truth be told. With each piece side by side, I found the early fashion garments much more sophisticated, elegant, interesting and appealing.
Thanks for watching!
same especially 3:15. what was nicolas thinking?
Except the iris van herpen piece
Love how fashion changes. But it still almost the same at its main core.
Only so many arms legs and heads on a body to cover up.
fascinating to see this exhibition during these times of deep reflection on how the fashion industry is and isn’t working
This reminds me so much of my mother, and her mother, and her mother’s mother. Fashion is a beautiful time capsule that unlocks cherished memories and roots us back to oneself.
Every single detail of this video is perfect. Perfect meditation.
Can the text *be* any smaller?
Beautiful. A little voyage of time.
A beautiful voyage indeed! Thank you : ).
I am so utterly moved…
Andrew Bolton and team have done it again. I’m crestfallen not to be able to see it this year. Destined to be yet another hit!
Sorry to hear, but we will have an exhibition walkthrough video in October!
The Met I’ll will watch it while sipping a cup of tea!
wow what a wonderful presentation of how ideas, shapes, and form changes, and gets reimagined over time.
Absolutely beautiful, serene and almost trance inducing.
Love this king of videos!!!
Everything is so small in this video, not much is visible.
True. My eyes hurt
Textures and details are hidden. I thought I was going to enjoy this but everything was obscured. They need to think of the medium they're using when producing and editing. Most people will be watching this on a small device
@@mdstanton1813 exactly, I couldn't enjoy the video, also of course the colors made dresses dissappear into the background. A lot of poor decisions.
I think they want viewers to pay attention to the silhouette rather than the text.
sorry you are watching this from a potato, but this was probably made for display @ the met when this is over. Girl, gone
the music made from the clocks and the piano reverberation is so memorizing what is it>
Thank you to the Met for creating this video!!! Thank you to Andrew Bolton and the entire staff for putting this together. I can't wait to see this exhibition, stay safe everyone
Absolutely breathtaking, exquisite work of art.
Solange’s dress😍😍(I think)
Swow. What an incredible, immersive experience. This is excellent.
this was absolutely gorgeous
Thank you!
This was amazing!
Beautiful!
Yes fascinating 😊

RPDR FANS 8:13 ( Is that chi chi devayne enterance look ?! #gaging )

Spectacular, wow...
It's quite spectacular! Thanks.
Interesting concept. Pretentious presentation.

Lots of Virginia Woolf quoted here. Not many books at home, I gather
so beautiful....
Thank you!
❤️ sublime
I have not seen that even at 2x acceleration it will be so slow
So poetic❤️

Mesmerizing. I wonder the recurrence of patterns and shapes reflect recurring sentiments among designers, or a lack of greater imagination....
It’s so sad seeing some of the most iconic designers that have passed away’s clothing.
Was this the supposed met theme this year?
it talks about the history of fashion and how things change, not change, and gets reimagined overtime.
I couldn’t stop thinking what would’ve have been celebrities going to be wearing with this year’s theme?
I liked the concept, but coming after camp this feels bland to me. Looking forward to see what next year brings
why am i crying
It was all kinda a same untill Chanel bought her legendary modern look for the first time.
Oh my sweet dreams...
What a lark, what a plunge!
1978 Norma Kamali dress looked like Alexander McQueen rose dress.
Solange ate that outfit
AMAZING
Thanks!

we are in the era of chromatica
Is it means the theme for this year is about how we transform a classic look into more modern look? Is a timeless pieces also fit the theme for this year?
the video is trying to get you to notice the differences and similarities in the garments
I hate hate hate this collection. Least favourite I’ve seen
MET 2020 theme: Ozark
Hesukena la música
İNTRO BE SHORT
2012 Baphomet?
When was this??
Yeah point taken. A lot of designers should be sued for plagiarism. That was that point wasn't it?
meh
Wow, I REALLY do not enjoy these comparisons. Stripped of all colour and shown in one way, I bet a number of these don't match like that at all
this is the most depressing video i ever seen.
anyone else hate the music
dull.
That was creepy.
The motion design of this video is not the best... The animations are very basic and flat. This video does NOT make me want to see the exhibition.
I couldn’t stop thinking what would’ve have been celebrities going to be wearing with this year’s theme?
