New York Fashion at PS1, 1980–1984

MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave, 11101, New York City

November 5, 2026 – March 15, 2027

New York Fashion at PS1, 1980–1984 revisits the museum's fashion program, initiated in 1980 as part of its wider Multi-Disciplinary Program spanning sound, performance, poetry, film, and architecture. Featuring notes, correspondence, photographs, and ephemera from MoMA PS1 archives, the exhibition focuses on projects realized by independent curator Hollywood Di Russo (1946–2005) with designers in the city. A stylist and make-up artist, Di Russo aimed to highlight fashion's influence on visual culture and the arts outside commercial realms and formal costume display conventions. Organized for the museum's 50th anniversary, the exhibition includes partial reconstructions of experimental installations by Julio (1980), Homer Layne/Charles James (1981), Willi Smith (1982), and Betsey Johnson (1983), alongside key documents and video.
