Isabel Toledo "Fashion from the Inside Out"
The Museum at FIT
This event has ended.
This mid-career retrospective will display approximately 70 iconic looks from the mid- 1980s to the present, including pieces from Toledo's highly praised 2007-2008 collections as creative director of Anne Klein.
Toledo is often described as a "designer's designer" and a "cult figure in fashion." Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein calls her an "incredible talent," while Narciso Rodriguez praises the "unique beauty" of her creations, adding that "she is, by far, the designer I admire most today." Other admirers include André Leon Talley of Vogue and Glenda Bailey of Harper's Bazaar. First Lady Michelle Obama famously wore an Isabel Toledo ensemble to the 2009 Inauguration. Toledo is the recipient of numerous honors, including FIT's Couture Council Award for Artistry of Fashion in 2008.
