The Museum of Design Atlanta is getting stylish with its newest exhibition, In the Bag. The display explores the origins, evolution, and design of our favorite fashion accessories.
Curators Clint Zeagler and Kevin Knaus have assembled an exhibition which pays homage to the greats like Hermes and Oscar de la Renta. But it’s not just about the masters, with works from students in the Master of Accessories Design programs in Milan and Georgia also on show. You may just see pieces from the handbag visionaries of the future!
The exhibition also explores the development and construction of different purses, and examines the influence that pop culture phenomena like Friends and Sex and the City have on our handbag choices.
“Atlantans will have the chance to see a unique and captivating showcase of handbags,” said Mr Zeagler, the owner and creative director of Atlanta women’s fashion line Pecan Pie Couture.
“It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity to really delve into the design and appeal of the handbag.“
You can see the show at The Museum of Design Atlanta until May 2.
