In honor of the U.S. Open and New York Fashion Week, which occurred earlier this month, a month-long free exhibit exploring the intersection of the comic strip Peanuts, particularly Snoopy, and fashion is now open in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. The exhibit also pays tribute to over thirty years of exhibits featuring either Snoopy and his sister Belle or Snoopy and Woodstock in designer clothing created especially for them by an assortment of renowned fashion designers.  Designers who have contributed to these various events have ranged from Levi Strauss to Givenchy and everyone in between. Even theater and movie costume designer Paul Tazewell has contributed a couple of his Hamilton designs for Snoopy and Belle. 

The current exhibit features numerous examples of Snoopy and Woodstock in designer clothing created for a previous exhibitions as well as some created specifically for the current exhibit. Many others of Snoopy and Belle scroll in a continuous loop on screens throughout the exhibit. 

The museum also covers the creation of the comic book characters and how their style developed, including how it was influenced by trends of the day along with Charles Schulz's own style. A couple of his sweaters are even on display. Numerous examples of Snoopy in regular everyday clothes as well as career-specific ones are also on display. Books, mugs, figurines, articles of clothing and various other memorabilia are also on display.

Special areas located within the exhibit are devoted to tennis, Peanuts-related music, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.  The tennis section explores Schulz's love for the game, his friendship with Billy Jean King, and his devotion to women's rights and equality, particularly in sports. The Joe Cool Listening Lounge provides a quiet space to listen to Peanuts-related music. The parade section explores Peanuts' relationship with the parade over the years. Models of some of the Snoopy Balloons that have flown in the parade are on display. Samples of  the new Macy's parade-related Peanuts merchandise created in honor of the parade's 100th anniversary this year are also part of this section. The latter items are not available for purchase in the exhibit. Numerous other items, including stuffed animals and other toys, books, music, bags, magnets, and so much more, are available in the very large gift shop section. There is also a snack bar. 

The whole exhibit is fairly large and can be a bit overwhelming at times, particularly because of crowd sizes and the sheer volume of material available to take in.  However, it is unnecessary to try to absorb all the signage and written material available on site. Large multi-page, newspaper-sized pamphlets covering the same material in slightly more detail are available for free to take home and peruse at your leisure. 

And that's our view. The exhibit is completely free. No tickets or reservations are required. However, be prepared to wait in a long line to get in, especially at busier, more convenient times. For more information about the exhibit, visit hwww.peanuts.com/snoopy-in-style-nyc

Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.
