Costume Institute Explores Fashion Models as Muses
New York – While seeing the face of a celebrity on the cover of a fashion magazine or starring in an advertising campaign for Louis Vuitton is the rule, rather than the exception these days, once upon a time it was the professional model who brought the collections of designers like Christian Dior, Cristobal Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Halston and Calvin Klein to the public, and to life.
hese women, who functioned as the standards of ideal beauty during any given era and in turn, had a hand in shifting that ideal – from the poise and polish of someone like Dovima in the ’50s, to the waifish Twiggy to the rise of black models like Iman and Beverly Johnson in the ’70s – are the focus of a new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute this spring, “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion,” which celebrated its opening at the museum in New York Monday night, May 4, with the annual star-studded gala that is one of fashion’s biggest nights.
