MANUS X MACHINA

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to make a trip to NYC for another Metropolitan Museum experience. Lucky for me, my Met Gala invite was lost in the mail and I was able to view the show in something a little more comfortable than an evening gown. The Met's exhibits never cease to amaze and just like fashion, they evolve with time. Manus x Machina is the Costume Institute's presentation on designer's way of creating balance between hand (manus) and machine (machina) made couture. Couture presentations range from infamous red-carpet looks to 3D printed masterpieces yet to be viewed by the public eye. Below are my favorite looks by coveted designers.

Dior creations from the new millennium. 
Corset-based creations by a variety of couture houses.
Wedding couture by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. AW 2014.
