The spring 2024 exhibition of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art entitled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion is an exploration into the concept of rebirth and renewal in fashion that highlights the Institute's work of fashion conservation by showcasing their archival and restoration processes. The exhibit is comprised of approximately 220 historical and contemporary garments and accessories spanning 4 centuries from the museum's archive are all visually connected through themes of nature, which also serves as a visual metaphor that examines ideas around the transience of fashion.
