MoMA ITEMS: Is Fashion Modern? This Mess Isn't Worth a Mention or a Moment of Your Time

The less said, the less to dread about this show of fabrics & threads of time.  It's a cheap smorgasbord  of fashion that is trying to fashion itself after the MET's Costume Institute.  However, it's not clever in the least.  It's not worth a spool of your time or mine.  "Driven first and foremost by objects, not designers, the exhibition considers the many relationships between fashion & functionality, culture, aesthetics, politics, labor, identity, economy & technology."  In its ambitious but poorly curated cross section of every stitch in design & time there is no clear or compelling purpose.  Is this fashion exhibit at MoMA meant to be an attendance motivator for making money?  My guess is yes and my advice is not to spend a moment on this shameful dispense of space.  Any social, political commentary referenced with pret-a-porter is a cheap rip-off.  In fact, juxtaposes items of clothing that have garnered social significance are tattered by being tossed into this majority meaningless mess.  Do go see the Louise Bourgeois exhibit on floors 2 & 3.  Should you go to ITEMS don't blame me.
