"When she co-chairs the Met Gala in May, all eyeballs will be glued to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see how one of the most watched women on the planet, in her eighth gala appearance, interprets the dress code: 'Fashion is art.'"
"Quips Andrew Bolton, curator of the Met's Costume Institute: 'Hopefully, it will put an end to the rather obsolete 'Is Fashion Art?' debate once and for all.'"
"Curated by Bolton and his team, this year's show, 'Costume Art,' seeks to present fashion as a through-line in the entire history of art. The exhibit will be the biggest, in terms of objects, that the institute's ever done: nearly 400 in total, or 200 garments and 200 artworks from around the museum, placed in pairs."
The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced details for the May Met Gala, where Beyoncé will co-chair alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. The dress code is 'Fashion is art,' chosen for maximum flexibility and to settle debates about fashion's artistic legitimacy. The gala launches the annual spring fashion exhibit titled 'Costume Art,' curated by Andrew Bolton and his team. This exhibition represents the institute's largest effort to date, featuring nearly 400 objects including 200 garments and 200 artworks from across the museum, presented in pairs to demonstrate fashion as a continuous thread throughout art history. A host committee including designer Anthony Vaccarello, filmmaker Zoë Kravitz, and various celebrities will attend the event.
