Last night was the biggest night of the year for fashion lovers! The Met Gala is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Arts’s Costume Institute, a program that is entirely self-funded. The Costume Institute has more than thirty-three thousand objects representing seven centuries of fashionable dress and accessories for men, women, and children, from the fifteenth century to the present and also entails a state-of-the-art conservation laboratory, in addition to a study facility for researchers to access the collection.
The theme for this year’s exhibition is Costume Art, which led to the dress code theme “Fashion is Art.” This year’s sartorial offerings were heavy on the human body and we saw a lot of hands, heads, skeletal features, men’s upper bodies (both true and fashion likeness) and several moulded ni***es! As always, there were visions that I thought were truly incredible, some that left me a bit dubious, and many that were lovely but safe which is not in keeping with the spirit of the MET Gala (particularly when the theme is art focused!)
