Andrew Bolton (Part 1)

How does one begin to piece together an exhibition made up of more than 150 ensembles—dating from the early 20th century to today—that illustrate the dichotomy between handmade haute couture and machine-made fashion? Enter Andrew Bolton, the star curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Here, Bolton discusses everything from his plans to (once again) engage the viewer’s imagination in a temporary context with “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” to the Chanel Fall 2014 Couture “supermodern” bridal moment that inspired it all. The exhibition is set to open May 5, but you can tune in to episode 20, part one, now for a peek at what’s to come.
