In September 2022, the magazine first revealed that the theme of the fashion extravaganza will be “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” and “examine the life” of the late designer’s fashion legacy. Part one, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” took place on 18 September, 2021, while part two, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”, was on 5 May, 2022. Who are this year’s co-chairs? In January, Vogue explained that the gala’s dress code was also “in honour of Karl” and offered three different outfit ideas for guests. The Costume Institute’s accompanying exhibition, titled “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” will bring around 150 creations from the iconic German designer together to “explore stylistic language”, per a September 2022Vogue announcement.
