Next year’s Met Gala theme revealed

CNN  

CNN — The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City has announced the theme of the 2020 Met Gala and the accompanying Costume Institute exhibition: “About Time: Fashion and Duration.” The exhibition – which will be part of the Met’s 150th anniversary celebrations – will trace the history of fashion from 1870 to the present, along what the museum calls a “disruptive timeline.” Borrowing from philosopher Henri Bergson a concept called “la durée” – time that flows, accumulates, and is indivisible – the show will explore the connection between fashion and time through the lens of the writings of the late Virginia Woolf, which will act as a “ghost narrator.” The catalogue will include a new short story by Michael Cunningham, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his novel, “The Hours,” which was inspired by Woolf’s “Mrs. Dalloway.” The concept of time, therefore, will inform the sartorial choices of the fashion world’s biggest night of the year, the annual invite-only gala fundraiser that is traditionally held before the exhibition opens. “As such, the show will present a nuanced continuum of fashion over the Museum’s 150-year history.” Lady Gaga attends the 2019 Met Gala, the theme of which was camp. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue “Fashion is indelibly connected to time,” Andrew Bolton, curator of the exhibition, said in a statement.
