The Great Designers, Part One and The Great Designers, Part Two will be organized in celebration of The Museum at FIT's forthcoming book, The Great Designers: Fashion's Hall of Fame from A to Z, to be published by TASCHEN in spring 2012. The book will feature color photographs of 500 of the museum's masterpieces by 100 of history's greatest fashion designers. A short biography of each of the featured designers will be preceded by an extensive essay on the history of fashion museums and exhibitions by Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT.

The Museum at FIT is the only museum in New York City dedicated solely to the art of fashion. Best known for its innovative and award-winning exhibitions, which the New York Times has described as “ravishing,” the museum has a collection of more than 50,000 garments and accessories dating from the 18th century to the present.

The museum is part of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), a college of art and design, business and technology that educates more than 10,000 students annually.
