Several film directors, including King and Ford, were tapped to energize the exhibition’s visual storytelling with their varying aesthetics, the Associated Press reported. “It is through these largely hidden stories that a nuanced picture of American fashion comes into focus - one in which the sum of its parts are as significant as the whole.” “Whereas ‘Lexicon’ explores a new language of American fashion, ‘Anthology’ uncovers unfamiliar sartorial narratives filtered through the imaginations of some of America’s most visionary film directors,” he said.
Meanwhile, the second part “explores the foundations of American fashion in relation to the complex histories of the American Wing period rooms,” Bolton said in February, and it “serves as a preface to the concise dictionary of American fashion presented in Part One.” The first part of the exhibition, which opened last fall and runs concurrently with the new exhibition, is called “ In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” It focuses more on contemporary designers and establishing a vocabulary for fashion. They’re serving with fashion designer and director Tom Ford, head of Instagram Adam Mosseri and Vogue’s famed editor, Anna Wintour, who will host A-listers from across fashion, film, TV, music, sports, tech and more.
Marking the institute’s 75th anniversary, the “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” exhibition is curated by Andrew Bolton and provides historical context and tells stories of unsung heroes in early American fashion, particularly women and people of color.Ĭo-chairing the gala this year are stars Regina King, Lin-Manuel Miranda and husband-and-wife duo Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. This year, the event coincides with the second part of the Costume Institute’s two-part homage to American style that debuts Monday and opens to the public Thursday. (The 2020 fete was canceled altogether.) The marquee fundraiser raises millions of dollars for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and raked in $16.4 million last fall. The most recent Met Gala was held less than eight months ago and was dubbed a “mini gala” due to pandemic-related delays and restrictions.
