Inside the Met Gala 2024 Exhibition: ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’, where AI and scents are fashion-forward
NY Post
Like true love’s kiss to a fairy-tale princess, fashion is waking things up.
Resurrecting centuries-old finery via artificial intelligence and sensory simulation, the 2024 Costume Institute exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — entitled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” — isn’t just a sight to behold.
It’s also to be felt, heard and sniffed.
“‘Sleeping Beauties’ will heighten our engagement with these masterpieces of fashion by evoking how they feel, move, sound, smell and interact when being worn,” Max Hollein, the Met’s Marina Kellen French Director, said in a statement.
Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge, added, “This exhibition endeavors to reanimate these artworks by reawakening their sensory capacities through a diverse range of technologies.”
Over 250 creations from luxe labels like Schiaparelli, Givenchy and Balenciaga will star in the fashion extravaganza alongside couture that’s up to 400 years old and too fragile to showcase on mannequins.
