Met Gala | Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion

“FASHION IS ONE OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL ARTISTIC FORMS BECAUSE OF ITS CONNECTION TO THE BODY. IT IS IMBUED WITH MEMORY AND EMOTIONS, AND WE RELATE TO IT VERY MUCH VIA OUR SENSES. ONE THING I HOPE THIS SHOW WILL ACTIVATE IS THAT SENSORIAL APPRECIATIONOF FASHION.”
