Denim: Fashion’s Frontier Exhibit

Denim’s been around for 175 years—which, as far as fashions go, is a long time—and it’s endured various iterations throughout that period. The Museum at FIT hopes to capture them all with a new exhibit titled “Denim: Fashion’s Frontier” opening today and running through May 1st.

Jeans have been worn and favored by a widely diverse group, which is exactly what this new exhibition means to shows us.
