Fashion and Textile History Gallery, The Museum at FIT
Through more than 70 objects, Global Fashion Capitals explores the history of the established fashion capitals, Paris, New York, Milan, and London, followed by Tokyo and Antwerp, and the emergence of 14 new fashion centers: Stockholm/Copenhagen, Berlin, Moscow/St. Petersburg, Kiev, Istanbul, Madrid/Barcelona, Sydney/Melbourne, Mexico City, São Paulo, Johannesburg, Lagos, Mumbai, Seoul, and Shanghai. The exhibition aims to broaden the understanding of what constitutes a “fashion capital” and to expand the dialogue on the globalization of the fashion industry during the 21st century.
