The Met’s next Costume Institute show and gala pay homage to Karl Lagerfeld, the 'Hitchcock of Fashion':
One of the fashion industry’s great designers, Karl Lagerfeld, will be celebrated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art next year with a show at the Costume Institute. “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” will bring together around 150 pieces of clothing as well as his sketches, to “spotlight the German-born designer’s unique working methodology,” according to the museum,.
Shortly after the announcement, the Institute’s head curator, Andrew Bolton, told CNN that he was fascinated by Lagerfeld’s drawings. “Every single design in his life was a sketch,” he said. “And when I saw the drawings, I thought, ‘These are so charming, so whimsical, so impressionistic.’ But what I didn’t realize was that they contained really precise information — about a shoulder line or the length of a sleeve.
Fashion aficionados can expect to see many of Lagerfeld’s signature designs from his years at Balmain, Patou, Chanel, Chloé and Fendi in the show—as well as on the red carpet at the Met Gala, the star-studded annual fundraiser for the Costume Institute, that will take place on May 1, 2023, before the show’s public opening.
