Ivy Style: Radical Conformists
Friday, 14 September 2012 - Saturday, 05 January 2013
The Museum at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology)
The Museum at the FIT presents Ivy Style, an exhibition that celebrates one of the most enduring clothing styles of the 20th century. From its origins on the prestigious college campuses of America in the late 1910s to the many reinterpretations seen in contemporary fashion, the 'Ivy League Look' or 'Ivy Style' has come to be viewed as a classic form of dressing. However, in its heyday, Ivy style was once a cutting-edge look worn by young men of means. Focusing on menswear dating from the early 20th century through today, more than 60 ensembles, both historic and contemporary, will be intermingled to illustrate the creation and subsequent reinterpretation of Ivy style.

Impressionism, Fashion and Modernity
25 September 2012 - 20 January 2013
An exhibition explores fashion as a critical aspect of modernity, one that paralleled and many times converged with the development of Impressionism, starting in the 1860s and continuing through the next two decades, when fashion attracted the foremost writers and artists of the day. Although they have depicted fashionable subjects throughout history, for many artists and writers, including Charles Baudelaire, Stephane Mallarme, Emile Zola, Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, fashion became integral to the search for new literary and visual expression.

Metamorphosis: Titian 2012
Wednesday, 11 July 2012 - Sunday, 23 September 2012
National Gallery, London
A multi-faceted experience celebrating British creativity across the arts, 'Metamorphosis: Titian 2012' brings together a group of specially commissioned works responding to three of Titian’s paintings – Diana and Actaeon, The Death of Actaeon and Diana and Callisto – which depict stories from Ovid’s epic poem 'Metamorphoses'. The paintings, displayed at the heart of the exhibition, will be seen together for the first time since the 18th century. Fourteen leading poets were also invited to respond to Titian's works. These poems are published in Metamorphosis: Poems Inspired by Titian, a beautiful little book that shows how the Old Master's paintings continue to inspire living artists.
