![Perspectives: Thierry Muglers Impact with Matthew Yokobosky, Connie Girl, Detox, and Ben Lee
“Even before our eyes meet and we start to communicate,” Connie (Connie Girl) Fleming says, “[fashion] is an unspoken sort of language.”
Connie Girl, Detox, and Ben Lee joined Matthew Yokobosky, Senior Curator of Fashion and Materials culture, to share inspiring moments from Thierry Mugler’s career, the designer’s inclusive and collaborative ways of working, and much more in the latest episode of Perspectives, an original series featuring intergenerational, roundtable discussions about exhibitions and major themes at the Museum.
Visit Thierry Mugler: Couturissime through May 7.

![90 Seconds with Kennedy Yanko
No More Drama. An always-timely mantra and also the title of Kennedy Yankos installation as part of Brooklyn Abstraction: Four Walls, Four Artists on view in the Beaux-Arts Court.
“If you let yourself [be present] and come to this work empty, then it’ll definitely take you on a ride,” Yanko says.
Visit Brooklyn Abstraction through August 6.
