The Megabus drop-off point in Manhattan happens to be just outside the Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology at West 27th and 7th. I had actually visited the place in 2012, and thought this location a good omen, so I popped inside.

The Body: Fashion and Physique, running until May, examines the ways in which fashion designers have traditionally tried to make the human body malleable for their fashions. The displayed clothing has an emphasis on how more recent designers are trying to be more inclusive of body diversity, or at least on the appearance of this tendency of late. (Featuring the famous Christian Siriano dress worn by Leslie Jones was a great idea!)
