Attendees attending the media preview of “Sleeping Beauty: Fashion’s Awakening” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday passed through a Loewe pop-up inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art before entering the exhibition.
It was a fitting start, given the size of the crowd and the fact that Loewe is a corporate sponsor of the Costume Institute’s Spring 2024 show. The show features 220 items from the 17th century to the present and opens to the public on Friday.
Organized as a series of shop-in-shops, The Met Store’s exclusive Sleeping Beauty range includes designs by Loewe and decoupage expert John Derian. Museum visitors can find a selection in his three sections: Loewe’s pop-up shop, limited edition decoupage decorations by Derian, postcards, prints, and an extensive exhibition catalogue. Loewe fans can choose from bags, small leather goods, accessories, candles, and other items from her collection, including the luxury maison’s home fragrances. Derian has dreamed up trays, coasters, paperweights, and other decorative gifts.
With Memorial Day and summer just around the corner, this Sleeping Beauty-inspired shop carries items from the just-released Paula’s Ibiza 2024 collection, including the Loewe Font Tote, Puzzle Fold Tote, and Anagram Basket. An item will appear.
Incorporating the natural theme that runs through Sleeping Beauty and other exhibits designed by Anderson, the store is based on the concept of a Mediterranean garden. Think olive and lemon trees, lavender, rosemary and potted thyme. Phillip Lim’s “Algae Sequin” dress is made from biodegradable rayon mesh derived from bamboo and seaweed, while Connor Ives’ “Couture Girl” dress is made from 10,000 pieces recycled PET by Sustainable Sequin. While the sequins described above had to be hand-embroidered, Anderson considered environmental issues. Take it to another level. One of the grassy coats he designed for Loewe is literally still growing inside a glass case at the exhibition.

The pop-up shop’s design was inspired by Loewe stores and its Mediterranean-inspired setting, featuring Esparto, handmade ceramic tiles, wooden furniture, raffia flooring, and colorful William Morris chairs with neon orange trim. It’s something.
New York City-based designer Derian focuses on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, featuring more than 100 works of art from the Metropolitan Museum’s collection, including drawings, prints, European sculpture and decorative arts, and Islamic art. I created a design for. The artist’s finished product was true to the exhibition’s undercurrents of nature, ephemerality, fashion, rebirth and renewal. Retail prices for his pieces, which include buttons, bottle openers, cake stands, and other miscellaneous items, range from $12 to $2,000.
Visitors can also pick up artistic memorabilia, including postcards and prints featuring works from “Sleeping Beauty.” If you really want to know more later, you can purchase the exhibition catalog, written by the Costume Institute’s curator in charge, Andrew Bolton. Readers will also learn about Nick Knight, the creative consultant for “Sleeping Beauty,” and the show’s scent specialists Sissel Traas, Elizabeth Shafer, Margherita Barone, Linda Borsch, William DeGregorio, and Stefani.・You may also find letters from Dr. Kramer, Dr. Junpen Lai, and others.
