今回紹介するのは、ニューヨークの名門ファッション大学「FIT(Fashion Institute of Technology、ファッション工科大)」内にあるミュージアムで開催中の展覧会「Pink: The History of a Punk, Pretty, Powerful Color」。18世紀から現代までの、ファッション文化における“ピンク”を探求する。同展では、19世紀のコルセットから、1920年代のイブニングドレス、クリスチャン・ディオールやグッチ、イヴ・サンローラン、コム・デ・ギャルソンといったデザイナーの逸品、プーマやフーディなどカジュアルウェアの服、反トランプデモで女性たちが編んだプッシーハットまでも展示。鑑賞者に、服におけるピンクをたのしませるだけでなく、ピンクという色につきまとう“ソフト”“女性らしい”“子どもっぽい”といった常套のイメージにも疑問を呈す機会を与えてくれる。
