Statement Sleeves FIT Museum Exhibition

Don’t miss this free event where the past and present converge in the art of the sleeve. We can’t wait to welcome you to a world where each fold tells a story.

Dramatic flair: Explore the world of puffed, ruffled, split, and sheer sleeves that have dominated the trends for the last decade.

Fashion cycles: Discover how these expressive styles have revolved through the fashion world over centuries.

Craftsmanship & creativity: Appreciate the complexity of sleeve design and the boundless imagination it inspires in designers.

Organized innovation: Rather than a chronological journey, witness a unique setup by sleeve types—from gigot to raglan.

Material and magic: See how variations in fabric, form, decoration, and function have allowed designers to reinvent sleeves time and again.

Over sixty styles: All from the museum’s permanent collection, highlighting the transformative power of sleeves in defining fashion across eras.

This is more than a fashion exhibition; it’s a voyage through time and creativity. “Statement Sleeves” is a testament to the transformative power of sleeves in defining looks that resonate across time.
