The MET is the largest museum in the United States and is located on fifth avenue. It is also one of the most popular in the world and is the third most visited museum in the world. Some exhibits include: Art of Native America, Egypt, European Paintings, Instruments of Rock & Roll, Camp and many more. I was very impressed with the fashion exhibit, Camp as it relates to femininity and extravagance. Many designers take was to create something extraordinary out of something ordinary. For example, something as ordinary as cabbage can be turned into a hat that is a piece of art. The MET is so important to the fashion industry because it displays fashion history. Many times fashion trends repeat so understanding fashion history is key to understanding the past as well as the future. I will use this experience in my future career because I have a further understanding of where designers get their inspiration from.
