I happened to "StumbleUpon" the Met's Costume Institute online and just about died. This past fall I took an art history course "Fashion, Nation, and Culture" which focused on the history of Italian fashion from a political aspect. Needless to say it has been my favorite class taken at university, and will likely remain so. As an art history major, I would love to have the opportunity to work with costumes somewhere like the Met or Smithsonian.
