FEATURED STORY
Minimalism/Maximalism Opens at The Museum at FIT
In fashion, minimalism and maximalism define two extremes along the design spectrum. Minimalism celebrates purity and restraint. Maximalism, on the other hand, accentuates the beauty of excess and redundancy. While these may be considered aesthetic opposites, both seek to challenge perception, and they can serve as indicators of the sociocultural and economic zeitgeist of a given time period. Minimalism/Maximalism—which opens today, May 28, at The Museum at FIT, and is on view through November 16—explores the interplay between minimalist and maximalist aesthetics as they have been and continue to be expressed through fashion.
