Fashion Innovation-#techstyle

Yesterday I was my first time visiting the Museum of Fine Arts on Boston. I know what your thinking, how could you be going to art school and live a train ride away from this place and never visited before? Well, I don’t get out much,but I was immediately interested in seeing this since I heard about it one day in fashion design class. Anyways, I went with a group of my favorite art teachers and a few great classmates to see the #techstyle exhibition.

This exhibition opened March 6th of 2016 at the Museum of Fine arts Boston and is running until July 10th. It includes incredible works by Iris Van Herpen, Neri Oxman,Lauren Bowker, Alexander Mcqueen, and many more great creators.

Collaboration between Iris Van Herpen, Neri Oxman, Prof.W Carter, and Stratasys

#techstyle is a great show of innovative and resourceful designs,many from unconventional or recycled materials. I defiantly suggest that those interested in fashion and curious as to what a glimpse into our future of clothing may look like, take a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts before your chance passes.

Leave a comment and let me know if you found this exhibit interesting. Would you guys ever visit and are you loving Iris Van Herpen as much as I am???
