The busiest night in the fashion world is about to return.
Traditionally held on the first Monday of May, New York Cityof Metropolitan meseum The red carpet of the School of Fashion of the Academy of Arts ended the red carpet, marking the opening of its highly anticipated annual fashion show. The museum has raised eight figures for the fashion industry-in 2019, the standard set a record of 15 million U.S. dollars (12 million pounds).
The following is what we know about this year’s event.
How did the Met Gala start?
In 1948, fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert (Eleanor Lambert) founded this social staple, initially as a dinner party. However, the late editor-in-chief of the American version of “Vogue” and eccentric lady Diana Vreeland (Diana Vreeland) promoted it into the field of celebrity and popular culture, and it is still by the editor-in-chief of “Vogue” and Condé Nast (Condé Nast) Anna Wintour, global chief content officer, has led him in power since 1995.
When will the Met Gala be held in 2021?
Due to the pandemic, this year’s version is a bit different. This event is usually on the May date, which is Monday 3road This year, missed it.Instead, a downsizing celebration will be held on Monday the 13thday September, at the end of New York Fashion Week.
What is the theme of this year’s Met Gala?
This year’s Fashion Institute’s exhibition is divided into two exhibitions-and both are American. first, In the United States: Fashion Dictionary, Will take a closer look at the new wave of American designers.So far, we know that this includes people like Christopher John Rogers, who is behind the scenes Kamala Harris’ inauguration costume; Pyer Moss, who acted as The first African American to appear at Paris High Fashion Week; And Connor Ives, graduated from Central Saint Martins College, London in 2020. The second one will consider inclusiveness and critically examine the clothing in the museum-era room from the perspective of race and gender-asking the question, “Who will become American?”
“I think the emphasis on conscious creativity has indeed been consolidated during the pandemic and the social justice movement,” Andrew Bolton, chief curator of the Museum Costume Institute, told Fashion“I think young designers are especially at the vanguard of discussions about diversity and inclusion, as well as sustainability and transparency.”
What will the guests wear?
“American Independence” is the official dress code printed on the invitation. As always, how the participants will explain this is unpredictable-but there is no doubt that the United States will dominate. Moschino’s Marc Jacobs, Thom Browne and Jeremey Scott have proven themselves very capable of making glasses for events. Can Katy Perry, known for her full-length angel wings (not to mention the entire chandelier), come as a firework on July 4th? Will Wintour use a custom turquoise and embody the Statue of Liberty?
Given that the goal of the exhibition is to look forward, there may also be gaps for new designers. Daniel Roseberry, who served as the creative director of Schiaparelli for four quarters, thrived with his surrealist rhetoric, and Telfar Clemens, who founded Telfar, is undoubtedly the leader of innovative design in the United States today.
