We completed our Summer Lecture Tours on American Design and Fashion History at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, the Met Costume Institute has prepared a real show "In America: An Anthology of Fashion". In the historical interiors of the American wing, nine directors staged one-shot "movies" with mannequins instead of people on the themes of forgotten and famous fashion designers. An outstanding vignette was the American Renaissance Room and the work of director Julia Dash: a dedication to Anne Low, who designed the wedding dress for Jacqueline Kennedy in 1953. In a circular gallery of the panoramic landscape of Versailles, Tom Ford created a freeze-frame of a "battle scene", referring to the historic confrontation between French and American fashion designers in 1973, dubbed the "Battle of Versailles". Then American designers such as Stephen Burrows, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein defeated their French counterparts, and people in the world of everyday fashion still use their achievements. Part of the money from the tickets was sent to the Kharkiv region to help the affected residents living under daily shelling.
