Many prominent sculptors are featured, including Fletcher Benton, Louise Bourgeois, and John Chamberlain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday\u2019s most progressive designers are challenging the norms of wearability and recasting the silhouette as anything but traditional. Trailblazing fashion designs that have emerged since the postwar era blur the boundaries between art, performance and self-expression,\u201d says Ann Marguerite Tartsinis, curator of\u00a0Dior to McQueen\u00a0and head of costume and textiles at Philadelphia Museum of Art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition follows how designers and artists approached the human form after World War II, leading to bold design choices and new construction methods.
