You can’t ignore the first Monday May, every year, a year, even if you are someone who is associated with minimal self -bounded, plush universe and fashion. And for the nasal and peripheral running visitors, when the significant met with the decades of a long heritage, it was possible to achieve something, it is – it – overcoming the world to stop because you just need to look.
So, what do you need to do something as unclear as the “first Monday May”, a conscientious institution? How can you even go to do anything as comprehensive as the “biggest fashion night” and has hyperbole, not to be hyperbole?
All this to ask – where did it start?
Fundraising. Children of Fashion Publicist Eleanor Lambert, the first in the history of Hale, was held in the Old World Waldorf Astory, in New York, December 1948. More than a very serious fashion parade, the event was a northern dinner, the tickets to which $ 50 was worth – a princely amount per day. The intention of the celebration at the time was to raise funds for the cost of the costume institute, as well as to provide a high -ranking, well -posted audience for the annual exhibit. Solded as “Party of the Year”, it is essentially a master class in a self-sufficient construction of the brand.
So, at what point did Met Gala depart from the socialist territory to truly, fashion? 70. That’s when Vogue editor -in -chief Diana Vrland turned to a special consultant to the costume institute. From 1972 to 1989 the topic, well, the topics were woven into the inheritance of Meth.
In fact, the first topic was created for the celebration of 1973 – the Balenia World to honor the great Balenia Crystabol a year after his death. As a result, the topic became more specific: Diana’s management, which covers Russian festivities, Slavic sadaries, old Hollywood glamor and many others defined by an annual thematic brainstorm. It was also a period when celebrity participation began with Met Gala-First Lady Jackie Kennedy, who served as co-chair from 1977 to 1978, examining a chic example.
In the mid-1990s, it was when Anna Vinatur took over. And the boy, she pushed the hardcore accelerator, participation in the main celebrity. The status that Met Gala uses today is Anna’s painstaking work using the raw star strength to undermine the annual exhibits of global glory.
This year’s topic is “Superfin: Black -style extension”, with the expectation of visitors, it is that they use their ensembles to honor the black heritage of fashion, Dandyism and personal identity. The androgen is expected to become the main underwater silhouette subjected to the red carpet. Speaking, the sky is a limit when you allow and encourage space and sophistication to make such complex sections of fashion history, with a strong personal style.
