A limited-time art exhibition is celebrating Charles M. Schulz’s iconic character Snoopy and the world of “Peanuts” through the lens of fashion and style.
Snoopy in Style NYC officially opened for the month in the Meatpacking District, offering a place where guests can explore the world of Schulz (also known as Sparky) and “Peanuts” as it relates to its cultural impact on the world. Curated by The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, the exhibition has ten immersive zones and features never-before-seen looks for Snoopy and Woodstock dolls and artifacts from Schulz’s connection to New York City, tennis and Billie Jean King.
One of the main pillars of the exhibition is “Peanuts” and its connection to style, starting from Charlie Brown’s iconic zigzag shirt and showing how other characters’ styles, such as Lucy and Sally, evolved over time. One zone has a number of Snoopy and Woodstock dolls dressed in custom-made outfits from brands such as adidas, Coach, BODE, Chinatown Market, Levi’s®, Gloria Steinem, Madhappy, Michael Kors Collection, New York or Nowhere, and so many more.

“Sparky understood that characters, like people, had a distinct sense of style,” said Jean Schulz, the widow of Charles Schulz and president of the BOD at the museum. “When you saw that style, you would understand something deeper about them. Sparky himself appreciated people’s personal style.”
Snoopy In Style NYC has a lot to explore, including interactive photo opportunities and rare archival materials. The space also features Joe Cool’s Listening Lounge, which celebrates one of Snoopy’s iconic alter egos alongside the legacy of Vince Guaraldi’s beloved jazz compositions.
The exhibition takes an inside look at Schulz’s appreciation for tennis and how it influenced his personal life, the original comic strip and women’s rights. It also explores his friendship with Billie Jean King and his advocacy for Title IX and the Women’s Sports Foundation. The exhibition also takes a deep look at how Schulz reshaped how female characters are portrayed in pop culture, creating characters like Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Sally, who are confident, intelligent and athletic.
