Brooklyn Museum Costume Collections

This summer I am looking for inspiration to help aid the process of making a collection this Fall semester. I am visiting museums, parks, festivals, countries, new neighborhoods everything possible to make my brain gush with new designs. This past weekend I visited the costume collection at the Brooklyn Museum. Who would have known the Brooklyn Museum had such a large assortment of timeless designs. You can even take pictures which most museums yell at. Please visit and enjoy the wonderful pieces of fashion history.

The Magnificent Charles James!! My hero...there is a large collection of pieces by him and a rare sighting of sketches as well. I also learned that Charles was an architect and used these skills to create the volume in his dress designs.
