Fashion History in Full SpectrumFashion enthusiasts have the rare chance to examine the legacy of some of the most recognized couturiers in the world, as a special retrospective on the history and significance of color and fashion is underway in Seoul.
"She's Like a Rainbow: Color and Fashion", which opened last week at Seoul's Rodin Gallery, displays 50 pieces from the houses of Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, among others with 25 ensembles by five local designers.
The 50 garments on display from the most prestigious haute couture houses in the world on loan here from the permanent collection of the Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City, make this the first international scale fashion exhibition to be presented at a museum or art gallery in South Korea.
Designed to commemorate Samsung Art & Design Institute's 10th anniversary, this is also the first time pieces from the FIT museum will be shown in Asia.
Divided largely into two exhibits, room one offers a look into the works of internationally revered designers organized according to primary colors _ red, blue and yellow _ and secondary colors _ orange, green and purple.
