Designers Amanda McGowan and Mattie Rivkah Barringer, who create garments under the name Women’s History Museum, explore a barely-there aesthetic partly inspired by their experience of tiny, ‘almost unintelligible’ Instagram images of clothing.

(On view at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise on the Lower East Side through February 25th).
