One of the most alluring yet elusive concepts in contemporary style, glamour is an ideal that permeates our visual culture. This exhibition radically revises our understanding of glamour in the fields of fashion, industrial design, and architecture. Tracing glamour's trajectory from Hollywood's golden age to present-day connotations of affluence, Glamour: Fashion, Industrial Design, Architecture presents a striking array of more than 100 objects including couture, jewelry, automobiles, furniture, and architecture — all of which share an affinity for rich patterning, complex layering, and sumptuous materials. On view are haute couture by Dior and Versace, automobiles from Jaguar and Bentley, architectural works by Philip Johnson and Herzog and de Meuron, and more.
