The Museum at FIT online collections Strongest on modern and contemporary womenswear, drawn from a permanent collection of more than 50,000 garments and accessories dating from the eighteenth century to now. Only a fraction of the collection is online, with new pieces added every month, so treat it as a curated sample rather than a full catalog, but browsing by decade or by menswear, shoes, lingerie and accessories makes a period quick to scan. Installation images from more than 100 past exhibitions show how the museum itself paired and styled pieces, useful when planning a whole look rather than one garment. The collection pages give no reuse terms, so ask the museum before publishing anything.
