Ray-Ban arrives at MoMA

For the first time in 70 years, MoMA, the New York Museum of Modern Art, is housing an exhibition dedicated to the world of fashion: Items: Is Fashion Modern? The exhibition, open from 1 October to 28 January, explores the present, past, and even occasionally the future of 111 items - clothing and accessories - which have had, and continue to have, a big impact on the modern world (20th and 21st centuries). Items: Is Fashion Modern? features items such as Levi's 501s, the Breton shirt, the Little Black Dress, the sari, the kippah and the keffiyeh, as well as one of the most wellknown icons of style ever: the legendary Ray-Ban Aviators, designed in 1937.
