Well-known as a World War I flying ace, multisport star, suave college kid \u201cJoe Cool<\/a>\u201d and, most endearingly, the loyal companion to an oft-beleaguered Charlie Brown, Snoopy has worn many hats\u2014and uniforms and glasses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, in a brand-new exhibition, these myriad identities and styles are being highlighted. Opened this week, \u201cSnoopy in Style NYC<\/a>\u201d celebrates the lasting cultural influence of America\u2019s favorite cartoon beagle. The gallery, open with free admission through September 26 in Manhattan\u2019s Meatpacking District, tells the story of Snoopy\u2019s ascension from the pages of Charles Schulz\u2019s \u201cPeanuts\u201d <\/em>comic strip to that of a global pop culture icon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The display emphasizes Snoopy\u2019s decades-long commercial and creative appeal, with installations curated by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center<\/a>. At its center is a collection of Snoopy and Woodstock dolls dressed in custom outfits from a variety of brands: Adidas, Coach, Levi\u2019s and more, reports amNY<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Emily Davenport-Salcedo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project dates back to the 1980s when a woman named Connie Boucher asked every single famous designer in the entire world to design outfits for Snoopy and his sister Belle,\u201d Melissa Menta, the senior vice president of global brand and communications for Peanuts Worldwide, tells Spectrum News\u2019<\/em><\/a> <\/em>Roger Clark. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve reimagined the program from the \u201980s into dolls that are mostly Snoopy and Woodstock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boucher, who died in 1995, is credited as being a pioneer for the commercial licensing of cartoon characters broadly, and \u201cPeanuts\u201d characters in particular. Her first collaboration with the comic strip was for a calendar in 1961.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat made her different was the quality and originality of her ideas,” Schulz told the New York Times<\/em>\u2019<\/a> David Cay Johnston in 1995. \u201cShe proposed the date book in 1961, and now everyone is doing them. After that, she started doing sweatshirts and banners and all that. She kind of set a standard for licensing, which up until she came along had not always been that high.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snoopy\u2019s stardom surged in the late 1960s,\u00a0wrote the Atlantic<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Sarah Boxer in 2015, due in part to the charm of his many identities. In 1968, he became a mascot for NASA<\/a>, while the \u201cSilver Snoopy\u201d award\u2014featuring the character in a space suit\u2014was created for staff and contractors who complete \u201coutstanding achievements related to human flight safety or mission success,\u201d according to the agency<\/a>. That same year, he emerged<\/a> as a popular write-in candidate<\/a>\u00a0during the U.S. presidential election.<\/p>\n
