The shorter length also serves to balance the collaged print in a chic, modern way.
As part of its mission to collect, study, conserve, and present significant works of art across time and cultures in order to connect all people to creativity, knowledge, ideas, and one another, The Metropolitan Museum of Art invited Todd to design a wearable, art-inspired collection. The colors and brushstrokes of Van Gogh, Degas, and Manet feel incredibly modern, incredibly relevant, says Todd of the pieces he chose to adapt for this unique collaboration. Three paintings by Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917) in The Met collectionThe Collector of Prints (1866), James-Jacques-Joseph Tissot (1867-68), and View of Saint-Valry-sur-Somme (1896-98)share an earthy color story that mirrors the Todd Snyder aesthetic.
