Couture Houses Ledger

The Couture Houses Ledger catalogs Costume Institute objects by fifty luxury and couture houses in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, with garment family, named era, parsed collection season, materials and designer attribution, drawn from the Met Collection API (CC0) and refreshed monthly. Every entry links its museum record; objects are described as cataloged, never appraised.
