Ensuring plenty of Chanel at the Met Gala 2023.
Karl Lagerfeld was a regular attendee at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute, from the Seventh on Sale Benefit in 1991 toexhibition in 2005. And yet, says the Costume Institute’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, Andrew Bolton: “Karl never tired of telling me that fashion did not belong in a museum.
And it is Bolton who has been entrusted with the task of corralling the prodigious output of one of 20th- and 21st-century fashion’s most fertile and enquiring minds into exhibition form. So how will he do it? “Well the one thing I knew for certain is that we could not do a traditional retrospective. For one thing, I think Karl would have hated that.
This led Bolton to that key: Lagerfeld’s sketches. “He would sketch everything. He would always say that he could draw before he could talk or walk. In many ways it was his primary form of communication, whether he was delivering them by fax machine or iPhone. So at its heart the exhibition will look at the evolution of Karl’s two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional garments.
