Yahoo Finance ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ and ‘The Crown’ Costumes From the Brooklyn Museum’s Virtual Exhibition
Costumes from Netflix series “The Crown” and “The Queen’s Gambit” are now on display at the Brooklyn Museum’s free virtual exhibition.
The exhibit features several outfits from the women in the two Netflix shows, explaining how their looks evolve over time.
Highlights of the museum collection, curated by Matthew Yokobosky, senior curator of fashion and material culture, includes an ancient Egyptian board game senet, American photographer Arthur Tress’ “Boys on Checker Floor, Far Rockaway, NY,” Guyanese British artist Hew Locke’s “Koh-i-noor” and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II made from plastic toys and trinkets.
The collection is an extension of the museum’s previous exhibitions that connected fashion design with museum objects, including “Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe” (2014), “David Bowie is” (2018) and “Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion” (2019).
The exhibition also features a pre-recorded panel conversation from Binder, Roberts and Yokobosky, who discuss the creative process behind the wardrobes of their respective shows. The panel is moderated by Academy-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter.
“The Queen and The Crown” is created by Netflix in collaboration with the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition will be available here until Dec. 13.
