Fashion - Met Gala Exhibit

Last week we looked at past fashion arriving to the Met Gala, and this week we're going to look at the exhibit this year would have been celebrating.


This year would also have celebrated the Met's 150th anniversary.

The exhibit is pairing fashion across time (beginning in 1870) - pieces that are connected through shape, motif, material, pattern, technique, or decoration.
