For those interested in fashions from the Renaissance and Late Medieval.


 ILLUMINATING FASHION: DRESS IN THE ART OF MEDIEVAL FRANCE AND THE
NETHERLANDS
Through September 4 at the Morgan Library [New York City], this exhibit will
explore the evolution of fashionable clothing in Northern Europe-from the
fashion revolution of the early 14th century to the dawn of the Renaissance
in 1515. Drawn from the Morgan's collections, approximately 60 illuminated
medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and early printed books illustrated
with wood- and metal-cuts are featured. For details visit:

I went last weekend with friends.  The exhibit was actually a bit disappointing.  They had four life sized mannequins with reconstructed costumes, but I've seen better at reeactments or at SCA events.

The ONLINE exhibit, however, is pretty damn good.  And probably gives you a better view of the manuscipts (lots of the images are miniatures and hard to see). 

I just wouldn't excourage anyone to make a special trip to NYC just for that show (we went to the Met too, so I got my medieval geek on there too).
