A little boy controled which portions of the soft interior (which very much resembles a balarina's liatard) to reveal. Perhaps this is stating the obvious, but the stiff exterior, the remote control it self, all screams control over the woman who presumabley chose to wear the dress.

A woman encased in hard plastic is controlled by a remote held by a boy... It is remarkable for its construction, wit, etc, etc, which only serves to disguise the underlying objectification of women. If this was a commentary about woman as a powerless robot it would be different. Does no one see the hidden mysogyny in this dress?

If so, why is it so tied to the past? Although the mechanical, cold exterior frightens & interests one, it is the hidden "undergarment" that is warm & inviting. Are we to think that the future will only be cold & harsh & mechanical? Is the only way that the future will be conforting is by referring back to a soft, billowing past? What is the artist trying to tell me? Is this the fashion of the future? If so, why is it so tied to the past?

I understand the artistic purpose of showing the clothes and not the text, but the text is so good why put it so that it is uncomfortable to read? Education should not be phyisically painful. Please decide on your photography rule--either photography is allowed or not. The sign at the top of the stairs said no photography. A group of college students were popping shots all over the gallery while one female guard looked down at the floor until I said something. Later another said it was fine as long as there was no flash. Which is it? The flash photography in the darkened gallery was very annoying. And I don't need to remind you also bad for the garments. The clothes throughout the gallery were interesting and the juxtapositions were also interesting. I searched and was unable to find a generic blog on which to post this comment, thus I added it to this one. Sorry it if isn't in the correct space, but I did look. It is nice to have this opportunity to share an opinion about the work you are doing. All in all it was very nice to find an exhibition of fascinating fashion open here at the Met today.
