The 1923 Exhibit: Costume Design Across Three Continents

Wednesday, April 5 to Sunday, May 28, 2023
New York

The Paley Center is thrilled to present this immersive exhibition featuring the craftsmanship and artistry of the Emmy Award–winning costume designer Janie Bryant. This experience will take you on a journey back in time to the perilous world of 1923, the acclaimed drama series following the Dutton family origin story from Academy Award–nominee Taylor Sheridan, exclusively streaming on Paramount+.

Bryant is renowned for her pioneering and era-defining costume designs, creating legendary looks for film and television throughout her career, including Don Draper’s gray suits and Joan Harris’s wiggle dresses in Mad Men, Pennywise’s time-spanning clown outfit in It, Elsa Dutton’s blue traveling dress in 1883, and Al Swearengen's pinstripe suit in Deadwood.
1923 is among Bryant’s most ambitious costuming endeavors yet. It is a family saga about survival during the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, and conflict at the end of Prohibition plague the mountain west and the Duttons who call it home. The show weaves together three epic story lines covering three continents in a vast, immersive world that required more than one thousand costumes to bring to life.
In this exhibit, visitors will experience how Bryant’s costumes shape the characters' stories and help develop the world of 1923. It is organized into three core settings aligned to the show’s main story lines.
