Announcing Morphew Concept's 2nd Annual Pre-MET Gala Press Day

Past and Future, Connecting in Style

Our client, Luxury vintage fashion brand Morphew Concept has announced their 2nd annual pre-MET gala press day. ‘Past and Future Connecting in Style’ will feature a curated collection of patterns from the 1800s along with futuristic fabrics.

With the success of last year's press day, Morphew will again transform the showroom into an even bigger piece of fashion art. ‘Past and Future Connecting in Style’ will feature rare Victorian lace and couture handmade pieces no longer made as they have all been replaced by machine technology. The exhibit will also showcase the revolutionary fabric Lamé from the 1920s and 1930s when it was metal, along with 1960s Pierre Cardin and Balmain dresses in which new technology was developed to knit the fragile Lurex and Lamé threads. Highlights include an 1880s Victorian sweater made from the first commercially available knits as well as other ingenious knits from Gaultier, Kansai Yammamoto, Matsuda, Comme des Garcons and Versace.

Keeping with the theme, a 1920s dress made from Celluloid Sequins, a brand-new material of the 1920s, will be on display next to a ‘modern’ 1990s Helmut Lang dress made from a net of plastic sequins, zippers and thread. There will be a Yves Saint Laurent gown on display woven with Lurex and light-as-air silk compared to a heavy 1930s metal version. The exhibit will also feature an original collection by Founder Bridgette Morphew in collaboration with Masha Pekurovsky. Prints in this collection were inspired by late 19th century lace patterns uniquely combined with video multi-media vector art.

The showcase will be held on Thursday, April 28th at the Morphew Concept Showroom (241 West 37th Street, Suite 1101, New York, NY) from 10am-7pm. The day will include complimentary morning bites, mimosa's and champagne for guests along with sweet treats later in the afternoon. The invitation-only event will allow editors to borrow pieces for editorial purposes. Celebrity stylists with clients attending the MET gala will also be able to rent, purchase and borrow select pieces for the red carpet at the MET GALA.
