The 2023 Met Gala Theme Has Just Been Revealed—Here's Everything to Know
Mark your calendars: Next year's Met Gala will fall on May 1, 2023. While seven months may seem like a long way away, it's actually quick as lightning in the fashion world, where everyone works months or years in advance. The theme of the year's biggest party will be "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," referencing the lines of Lagerfeld's famous sketches, which will be presented next to his designs.
"At its heart, the exhibition will look at the evolution of Lagerfeld's two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional garments," the Met's curator in charge, Andrew Bolton, told Vogue. "And what's fascinating to have discovered: I always thought that his drawings were very spontaneous and almost impressionistic. But they were in truth extremely precise, almost mathematical. We couldn't see it because we are not trained, but his premiers knew down to the millimetre what each line meant. It was almost a secret code, a language shared between him and those premiers, that only they could fully decipher."
The exhibition will feature work across all of the houses he worked for: Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, and his eponymous brand. It's his reign at Chanel, however, that I'm most excited to see. In the spirit of the exciting news, scroll down to revisit some of Karl Lagerfeld's most memorable looks for Chanel over the years.
