On view in <em>Expedition<\/em> are approximately 70 ensembles and accessories from MFIT\u2019s permanent collection, as well as a compelling selection of objects borrowed from leading museums and private collections. These garments are presented within dramatically designed \u201cenvironments\u201d in the museum\u2019s Special Exhibitions Gallery. Collectively, the objects and the exhibition design evoke both the beauty of extreme wildernesses \u2014 on land and sea, as well as in outer space \u2014 and the dangers these locales present to human explorers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Expedition: Fashion from the Extreme<\/em> is also the title of the exhibition\u2019s companion book, published by <a href=\"http:\/\/thamesandhudsonusa.com\/books\/expedition-fashion-from-the-extreme-hardcover\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Thames &#038; Hudson<\/strong><\/a>.
