The MET Todd Snyder to Design an Apparel Collection Inspired by Van Gogh, Manet, and Degas As part of its mission to collect, study, conserve, and present significant works of art across time and cultures in order to connect all people to creativity, knowledge, ideas, and one another, The Metropolitan Museum of Art invited Todd Snyder to create an exclusive series of wearable designs inspired by the Museum’s holdings. The 12-piece collection includes chore coats, puffer jackets, sweaters, scarves, and sweatshirts that reimagine masterpieces by Édouard Manet (French, 1832–1883), Edgar Degas (French, 1834–1917) and Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890). America’s leading menswear designer selected the paintings to adapt into apparel after spending several Wednesdays — the day the Museum is closed to the public — alone with The Met’s world-famous collection. The twelve-piece collection is available exclusively at toddsnyder.com and select Todd Snyder stores — Bal Harbour in Miami, Rockefeller Center in New York and The Grove in Los Angeles — as well as The Met’s Fifth Avenue store. “To be able to work with The Met is a huge honor. My mother was an artist and an art teacher and I can remember going to the Museum when I was taking art history classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Instead of studying paintings in a textbook, it was so special to be able to see these masterpieces in person,” says Snyder.
