New York City--Fashion Museum
My cousin and I (females, late 60's) will spend five days in NYC in a few weeks. Both of us have been to NYC several times and we have most of our trip planned--Broadway shows, MOMA, the MET, the 9/11 Memorial, etc. Has anyone visited the Fashion Institute of Technology Museum? If yes, is it a good way to spend our time and how long should we plan to stay there?

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately I missed the McQueen exhibit, but the Guinness exhibit website looks great. The New Yorker article made me look into the FIT Museum. I have seen other very good fashion exhibits at the MET, and look forward to checking out this new-to-me museum.

The Daphne Guinness and the sports wear exhibits were very worthwhile. We started our morning by walking a good part of the High Line Park--lovely and unexpected--and then walked over to the FIT Museum. Thank you for your comments.
