I had the honour of assisting graphic designer Willem van Zoetendaal in designing an exhibition catalogue for The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The catalogue accompanies the exhibition ‘In America. A Lexicon of Fashion’ in the Anna Wintour Costume Center of the MET and runs until September 5, 2022.

The catalogue showcases over 100 garments from the 1940s to the present that offer a timely new perspective on the diverse and multifaceted nature of American fashion. The catalogue features works that display qualities such as belonging, comfort, desire, exuberance, fellowship, joy, nostalgia, optimism, reverence, spontaneity, strength, and sweetness by designers, from the pioneers who established the nation’s style to the up-and-coming creatives shaping its future. In America: A Lexicon of Fashion includes designs by Thom Browne, Perry Ellis, Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, and many more.

Sewn linen binding with rounded spine. The cover has a tip-in image and foil stamps. The cover text is included as a separate insert.
