Television’s artistry on display

Timed to coincide with the upcoming Creative Arts Emmy Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards, the “Art of Television Costume Design” exhibition offers visitors a chance to see up close the sometimes lavish, often quirky yet always spot-on costumes worn on top TV shows on broadcast channels, cable and streaming services.

“I think people are interested in not just watching the TV shows but in getting to know more about them, including the characters and their costumes,” said Nick Verreos, co-chair of the fashion design program at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, in whose museum the exhibition is on display.

The 100-plus costumes from more than 20 TV shows (of which nine have been nominated for Emmys) are split into various categories such as period, fantasy and contemporary. Highlights include flamboyant outfits from FX’s “Pose”; the outlandish ensembles from “The Masked Singer”; and the pristine frocks plucked from the wardrobe of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

“Some of the exhibits also are from shows that have had their last season,” said Verreos, referencing HBO’s fan-favorite series “Veep” and “Game of Thrones.”

The exhibition is free and open Tuesday through Saturday through Oct. 26. “Art of Television Costume Design” exhibition, FIDM
