fashion industry, from Yves Saint Laurent‘s Le Smoking suit to Cristobal
Balenciaga‘s baby doll dresses. This exhibit at the Museum at FIT explores the
contributions gay fashion designers have made to the industry by showcasing
more than 100 pieces with a focus on androgyny, idealism, and styles that may
have at one point been considered socially unacceptable.
“The exhibition looks at the creativity
and resistance to oppression expressed
by LGBTQ subcultural styles.”

In 1912 Nabisco sandwiched the Oreo here;
since 1997, however, the space has evolved
from a bakery landmark to a gourmand's
mecca. Original factory floors and winding halls
of exposed brick preserve the industrial feel of
the original occupant, but Chelsea Market is
hardly about utility shopping nowadays with its
destination bakeries like Amy's Bread, Eleni's,
and Sarabeth's, fresh produce and prepared
foods from Buon Italia, and takeout from Thai
Wholesale and Ronnybrook Milk Bar. That Asian
powerhouses Buddakan is situated here only
underscores the location's culinary importance
as do the Food Network headquarters upstairs
where Iron Chef is filmed.
