just saw someone say, about the met gala entrance fees (which, to be clear, are exorbitant and it IS ultimately a status display etc etc) "where does the money go? why isn't this a charity event?" like.... it literally is... and for some of the guests who are there representing fashion houses it's free bc they're essentially promoting the fashion. like I understand the criticisms but it VERY MUCH IS. a charity event.

Trailer- “The First Monday in May”

The 2016 documentary The First Monday in May, follows chief curator of The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Andrew Bolton as he prepares the 2015 exhibition China: Through the Looking Glass.  The film also follows Anna Wintour as she prepares for the Met Gala party that accompanies the exhibition. Bolton’s work on the show with director Wong Kar Wai, as well as the negotiations and logistics behind creating it are fascinating.

The film is full of celebrities and fashion designers including Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier, and John Galliano.

The Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, also curated by Andrew Bolton,  Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, closes on 9/2.

Dress match-up: a painted dress and its exact dress or a close match.

French • 1864 • Metropolitan Museum of Art

A rounded shoulderline that enhanced the length of the neck was prized through most of the nineteenth century. From the 1830s to the 1880s, it was accomplished by the lowered splayed stance of corset straps. The open neckline apparent in this wedding dress and the underbodice of this summer gown from the period suggests its romantic effect. – Metropolitan Museum of Art
