The LIM Vintage Club had the opportunity to attend the Costume Institute’s exhibition About Time: Fashion and Duration. The Met Museum held the event, which happened to be its 150^th Anniversary, virtually this year due to COVID-19. Although the experience was much different than years prior, we had a wonderful time thanks to our guide, Page Knox. She led us through the virtual time-themed exhibit to see the fascinating evolution of fashion since 1870.
