Cooper Hewitt
Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design in the Upper East Side is the only museum in the nation that is devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design. Its collections explore approximately 240 years of design aesthetic and creativity. Cooper Hewitt does not solely explore fashion, but they sometimes showcase textile/fashion exhibitions such as their latest: Scraps: Fashion, Textiles and Creative Reuse, which runs through April 16. This exhibit focuses on creative and alternative approaches to confronting and responding to industry waste. It showcases the work by Luisa Cevese, founder of Milan-based design studio Riedizioni; Christina Kim, founder of Los Angeles-based brand dosa; and Reiko Sudo, cofounder of Toyko textile design firm Nuno.
