I love everything about Palazzo Pitti and the Costume Gallery was no exception. I would have never known that it existed and it was really cool to see an area of the palace that was not as crowded. The glitzy architecture and interior design came to life when I saw mannequins dressed in such iconic styles. It would have been nice if the labels were more accessible, as it was tough to refer to them and observe the fashion at the same time. I also would have liked being able to walk around the outfits more.
I didn't particularly enjoy the special exhibit on Native American costume. While it was interesting ti see the creative and unprecedented use of materials, I thought that it didn't blend well, especially because it was stuck in the middle of the exhibit, which made for awkward transitions. It was an odd juxtaposition with the glamorous architecture of the palace.
I was sad that our visit was so rushed!
