Expect to find approximately 100 garments and accessories from the likes of Narciso Rodriguez, Halston, Tom Ford, Geoffrey Beene and Rodarte, ranging from casual sportswear to couture-worthy gowns. Each piece is intended to reflect the designer’s contribution to and influence on American fashion. Feb. 10-April 17. Free.
