"CHARLES JAMES - BEYOND FASHION" Exhibition at Metropolitan Museum of Art New York by FC

Charles James "BEYOND FASHION" Exhibition at Metropolitan Museum of Art New York
The inaugural exhibition of the newly renovated Costume Institute examines the career of the legendary twentieth-century Anglo-American couturier Charles James (1906--1978). Charles James: Beyond Fashion explores James's design process, focusing on his use of sculptural, scientific, and mathematical approaches to construct revolutionary ball gowns and innovative tailoring that continue to influence designers today. Approximately seventy-five of James's most notable designs are presented in two locations-the new Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Gallery in the Anna Wintour Costume Center as well as special exhibition galleries on the Museum's first floor.
"Charles James: Beyond Fashion" will explore James's design process, focusing on his use of sculptural, scientific, and mathematical approaches to construct revolutionary ball gowns and innovative tailoring that continue to influence designers today.

After designing in his native London, and then Paris, James arrived in New York City in 1940. Though he had no formal training, he is now regarded as one of the greatest designers in America to have worked in the tradition of the Haute Couture. His fascination with complex cut and seaming led to the creation of key design elements that he updated throughout his career: wrap-over trousers, figure-eight skirts, body-hugging sheaths, ribbon capes and dresses, spiral-cut garments, and poufs. These, along with his iconic ball gowns from the late 1940s and early 1950s-the "Four-Leaf Clover," "Butterfly," "Tree," "Swan," and "Diamond"-will be showcased in the exhibition

Was privileged to have trained under his dress makers.

Charles James is not a great artist !! his work is very medium !! Jeanne Lanvin + Balenciaga + and some others as les Soeurs Callot must laugh on a such low level of artistic expression ...

[@brodiemcgrath7741]

Berdj Achdjian Balenciaga himself called Charles James the greatest dressmaker in the world

[@achdjianfinearts]

Balenciaga was very polite I am not. I say what I think and I think it is quite courageous for someone like me who work with museums what I say. I am not going to change my mind. Sorry but I have demonstrated enough my taste in the world of antique textiles and I do not need others opinion.

[@achdjianfinearts]

Anna Wintour You did not demonstrated anything more than me .. you are expressing nothing more than your opinion on KZbin .. stop with your own vanity !!!! go to buy a brain !!

[@achdjianfinearts]

So sad you have missed my point completely. When you comment on KZbin, you are opening a discussion .. there is a reason there is a rply button. If you don't care for other people's opinion then why come on KZbin and express yourself? except to open already openend doors do you have something to say ?
