MET GALA 2022
In America: An Anthology of Fashion
The Met Gala has and always will be the best theatrical party to attend.
Truthfully, Met Gala themes can be interpreted any which way the artist’s see fit- which we’ve seen time and time again. The theme for 2022 was “Gilded Glamour”, which translates to impressive and excessive fashion. Gilded Glamour pulls inspiration from a time where innovation and wealth were on the rise, and dressing to impress was the end goal.
Last year, the Met Gala’s theme was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”, which was meant to embrace modern American fashion and emphasize the designers roots and their different forms of expression. This year, Gilded Glamour is included in this two-part idea of exploring American fashion through the ages, called “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”.
The Met has shown us the evolution of fashion through this two-part exhibition, giving designers the opportunity to explore fashions deep history, and share with us their modern twist of how the past shaped our future.
