With vibrant colors, metallic fabrics, and slinky silhouettes that clung to the body, Burrows\u2019s danceable designs generated a vibrant look that was of a piece with the glamorous, liberated nightlife of the era. Through photographs, drawings, and original garments, the exhibition will trace Burrows\u2019s evolution from creating eclectic looks for his friends in the 1960s to his work with the chic 57th Street retailer Henri Bendel to the floor of Studio 54, as he dressed such 70s style icons as Cher, Liza Minnelli, and Diana Ross.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/?attachment_id=21212\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21212\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21212\" alt=\"BURROWS_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/BURROWS_2-560x350.jpg\" width=\"560\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/BURROWS_2-560x350.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/BURROWS_2.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Museum of the City of New York<\/em>, 1120 Fifth Ave bet 103rd &amp; 104th Sts, NYC, 212-534-1672, through July 28<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Burrows: When Fashion Danced\u00a0is the first major examination of the work of the designer\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0called in 1977 the \u201cbrightest star of American fashion.\u201d It looks at the period spanning the 1970s when Stephen Burrows\u2019s meteoric rise to fame made him not only the first African-American designer to gain international stature, but a [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[717,931,2985,26,2983,2982,2984],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21210"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21215,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210\/revisions\/21215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
