American Designers Archive
The American Designers Archive gathers Costume Institute objects by American designers in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, drawn from the Collection API (CC0) and refreshed monthly. Every record links its museum object page and carries garment family, era, season and significance labels; objects are described as cataloged, never appraised or priced.
