The exhibit presents 57 artworks from the collection of the Brooklyn Museum in an exploration of the myriad ways in which American artists engaged with modernity.

During her fifty year reign as the "Empress of Fashion", she launched Twiggy, advised Jackie O and coined some of fashion's most eloquent proverbs such as "the bikini is the biggest thing since the atomic bomb." She was the fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar where she worked 25 years before becoming editor in chief of Vogue followed by a remarkable stint at the Met's Costume Institute where she helped popularize its historical collections.
