Met Gala Monday is mere days away. The first thing to do is bookmark this page, which explains how to watch Vogue’s livestream of the red carpet—it starts at 6 pm sharp on May 5. Next, give these new stories a click. Monica Miller, who co-curated the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition that the gala celebrates, shares her essential reading list. Laird Borrelli-Persson takes us back to 2003, which was the last time the Costume Institute devoted a show entirely to menswear. Jose Criales-Unzueta asks some of fashion’s most influential designers about what makes a modern dandy. And Laia Garcia-Furtado brings you the vibiest candid photos from the Met Galas of the 2000s. I may be biased but together I think they make a strong case to get excited for next week’s “party of the year.” |
