What can easily be dubbed as the Oscars of fashion, the annual Met Gala at the Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of those events you stay up to watch unfold. This year’s theme for the gala, hosted by Vogue magazine’s Anna Wintour, was ‘ManusXMachina: Fashion in an Age of Technology’. Loosely translated from Latin as the combination of handmade and machine-made creations, the interpretation of the theme was broadly futuristic.
There are many things fashion can be faulted for, but reinvention is not one of them. Rather than inspecting the dichotomy—handwork versus the product of machines—this year’s exhibit of 170 garments regales of how these both go hand-in-hand. “I find fashion a deeply, deeply humanistic practice and art form. I am such an advocate of fashion as an art form. I am so surprised that debate is still happening. I hope that after this show we can move on from there and ask other questions: ‘Is it good fashion? Is it bad fashion? What’s it saying?’ I just want to move on from that argument. I want people to accept it,” said curator Andrew Bolton in an interview with WWD.
To mark the opening of the exhibition, The Met Museum and Vogue Magazine join forces to throw a ball that is the highlight of all social events in New York City. This year’s ball was hosted by co-chairs Idris Elba, Jonathan Ive of Apple, Taylor Swift, Anna Wintour, Nicolas Ghesquière, Karl Lagerfeld and Miuccia Prada.
As for the celebrities who make the evening the spectacle it is, favourites spotted at this year included Zoe Saldana in feather-embellished Dolce & Gabbana gown, Karlie Kloss in Brandon Maxwell, Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen, Beyoncé in Givenchy, and Willow and Jaden Smith in Chanel and Louis Vuitton respectively. Here’s our round up of the stars who walked the red carpet.
