Many consider the New York skyline to be the greatest American visual export of the twentieth century, advertising the progress of American industry and design. With piercing and crenellated silhouettes comprised of soaring steel and gleaming glass, skyscrapers such as the Chrysler and the Empire State Buildings helped define the modern New York skyline and served as awe-inspiring symbols that captivated many imaginations of the period.

520 $a Many consider the New York skyline to be the greatest American visual export of the twentieth century, advertising the progress of American industry and design. With piercing and crenellated silhouettes comprised of soaring steel and gleaming glass, skyscrapers such as the Chrysler and the Empire State Buildings helped define the modern New York skyline and served as awe-inspiring symbols that captivated many imaginations of the period.
520 $a In my paper, I begin by highlighting how the New York skyline became a source of design inspiration for many textile designers from the 1920s through the 1930s. Textile designs such as Manhattan by Ruth Reeves directly captured the contemporary fascination with progress and modern urban life through literal depiction, while other textiles, such as one also entitled Manhattan by Clayton Knight, concentrated on stylized representations of this frenetic cityscape.
520 $a Over time, designers influenced by twentieth century art and design movements such as Cubism, Futurism, and Art Deco, further abstracted these depictions, resulting in two distinct styles: imagined cityscapes and highly stylized patterns that recalled the geometric form and ornamentation of New York City's architecture. In this section of my paper, I will present textiles and garments that exemplify both of these trends. I will also supplement these examples with related objects from elsewhere in the fashion system and popular culture, such as perfume bottles, department store displays, magazine illustrations, and stills from contemporary films.
520 $a With the aftermath of the Great Depression and the advent of World War II, the interest in the urban metropolis began to wane. As the exodus out of the city gained popular support in the post-war years, the depiction of the modern metropolis faded from the public imagination. I conclude by describing this decline in detail and briefly show the fashion for depicting idealized suburban and country life, which ultimately replaced these metropolitan motifs.
