I am so glad they are working to preserve these treasures & to replicate them as they can before they disintegrate beyond our ability to save them. I understand the dilemma of scanning them to save the memory of them but knowing it may cost us the actual garment. I rescue, repair, research & rehome vintage accessories. I often come across pieces that are damaged & I am always hit with the dilemma of whether I can repair it without compromising its original design & value or to just leave it "as is" with its own story to tell through its wear & tear.
Abby Cox is one of them. Her pal Nicole (Rudolph but I might be wrong) recreates shoes of the past. Bernadette (last name might be Banner) also does recreations. I live vicariously thru these ladies.
I remember going to the Met when there was a similar curation. There was a mix of the piece and then a digital rendering pulling back the layers of the piece showing you how it was constructed as well as the ability to touch similar fabrics. I thought it was a magnificent curation.
Wow.....I never thought about the sound, but I do remember the sound of the material of my mother's fancy dresses.....and the perfume, the perfume mixed with the sound.
The sound of Mom's stilletos (they ALL wore them in the 60s) on a hard floor. The crunch of crinolines was gone before I was born but my sisters were all poofy.
Most people don’t see how precious clothes can be. Each garment tells the history and story of a life and culture. Especially haute couture garments that show the highest level of workmanship. I hope people can start appreciating clothing.
A special garment worn just once for a very special moment. Like a painting done by a master. A fine sculpture. This is functional art worn on the human body. On some very important human bodies.
After seeing so much lace on outfits worn on the red carpet tonight, I started thinking about the numerous videos I have watched about historical lace making in different countries. For example, Queen Victoria insisted on using British lace in her wedding dress to Price Albert because she wanted to promote that industry. There are many countries, in Europe and in Asia, with strong historical lace making. As I thought about that, K thought that might be a great future exhibition and/or theme. Vintage Hand-made lace demonstrates clear attentions to detail that rise to the level of meticulous haute couture. I couldn’t locate any international exhibition in historical lace and there is so much information a curator would be able to share while also making exhibits that are extremely hands on by letting visitors try their hand at various lace making techniques such as bobbin lacing. They can also show or demonstrate the evolution of dyeing the lace and the changes as to where and how lace is intricate into costumes, outfits, and personal heirlooms.
I tell you what. I am perfectly willing to play this video frame by frame to catch some of the detail; and at 50% speed to have a more fluid view of the garments being shown. I am totally okay with the narrative being slow-mo just so my eyes can have a chance to focus deeper into the forms. 😁
The first place to be measured and mapped using Gunther’s chain “ch” was the Town of Aurora just north of Toronto. What a cruel intent, to take the majesty of the northern lights and drag this monstrosity of a contraption as a large grappling fishing gaffer over the earth to that task. To awaken a beauty, is a truly noble task of optimism and courage. It is the essence of fashion and haute couture at its truest calling and core. I also quite love the MET theme for this year, it’s heartful.
The Gala this year made me feel that we are close to the French revolution. When you get to the point where a model needs to be carried up the stairs because her dress is made for form rather than function. I believe we’ve reached the end of the road.
The care, attention & respect that these garments receive is directly contrasted by that awful woman who WORE Marilyn Monroes dress to the exhibit last year.
like works of art just beautiful oils can ruin the fabric light can also fade it clothing tells a story a journey of a persons life such a fascinating job all the hats jewelry is stunning such a great video
I wonder how many times these gowns were actually worn? Once, maybe twice? So surreal to see things that were such utter luxuries and now stored as art.
It's a sentiment shared by many who follow fashion and entertainment events closely. The themes of these events are often a product of intense creativity and deep thought, reflecting broader cultural, historical, or artistic narratives. When celebrities choose not to adhere to these themes, it can seem like a missed opportunity to celebrate the full potential of the event. However, it's also a reflection of individual expression and the diverse interpretations of art and fashion. While some may see it as a disregard for the theme, others might view it as a personal statement within the broader tapestry of the event. Ultimately, these gatherings are a blend of personal style and thematic expression, creating a mosaic of the contemporary fashion landscape.
At what point do you record the piece with the idea of preserving it and possibly reproducing it so the public can see what it was meant to be when originally produced?
The way they incorporate all of the senses within the exhibition is what art truly is. Art is supposed to make every part of you feel something
Art Should move and touch indivualistically. There is no one way art _should..._

I just realized how past eras clothing can be as fragile as books

uhhh duh! lol sorry...

This seems like the coolest theme yet. I really hope the celebs/guests do it justice this year
Ah, sadly, no 😢
I agree. This theme was so beautiful and had so much potential.
Well they didn’t
Remember it's the design houses who determine what people wear (for the most part)
Often the celebs have no deep understanding of the theme.

I could listen to Andrew talk about fashion all day. The way he speaks about fashion is fascinating. I want him to do a TED TALK

So beautiful to see beauty upclose 7:51
The Schiaparelli made me gasp! Thank you so much, it was all gorgeous and inspirational.
I hope to see some beautiful ANTIQUE couture this year!!!
Mee tooo
Красивое в простом видят только Сицилийцы…

It's amazing how much effort is involved in the preservation
omg that intern Izabel hit the jackpot of learning experiences!
Those garments are absolutely stunning ! So delicate! 🌸
The theme/dress code is gardens of time. Goes well with the exhibit

My grandmother could tat. I wasn't around her enough to learn how. I recently saw a video on bobbin lace making. Beautiful stuff. So intricate.

I will now go watch it on my HD capable screen, so that I can look even deeper. ty for the HD enhanced.
I appreciate every moment of this video and all of the people across time and now that brought it together for us. It is brief. But there were are. ty
Ok
The reverence given these garments is what they deserve.
one of the best themes ever! Its so precious to see these rare pieces of history!
Halle Berry’s burgundy Oscar gown, with garden embroidery over a lace top would be a great contribution to this year’s collection.
A beautiful dress, beautiful on her.
So excited for the Met!!! 🔥🔥🫶🏻

I also quite love the MET theme for this year, it’s heartful.
Fashion is as technically oriented as engineering, electronics, IT etc and men need to acknowledge
Such beautiful pieces… I hope to see the guest taking their inspiration off antique garments and give it an unique twist
Every year, I love these videos, contextualizing the Met Gala and the art behind it. Thank you 💜
Can't hardly wait to see this in real life! I hope I run into Chief curator Andrew Bolton!

Agreed a thousand times over. Had any organization but Ripley's owned it it never would have happened. Ever. It is just not done.

Andrew is such a visionary. His talent is just incredible :,)

The world of fashion is beautiful, totally incredible 😍❤️🌹
Very excited for tonight
Oh I can already tell this met is gone be one of the top
The Red Carpet by celebrities, I don't care much. Every year, I only watch for this gentleman to teach us about history, ary and conservation.
I hope the celebs manage to fit within the theme without actually wearing sleeping beauties that they would ruin. I’m looking at you, Kim.
Oh my sweet Alexander McQueen butterfly dress that’s the that’s truly is icon of fashion

Nice to see Professor (Bethany) Gingrich getting a starring role! I took her for history of fashion photography at FIT :)
Bravo! I love it!!❤❤❤
Super interesting x 💗
Thank you
how did they control the way their garments sounded? so interesting!
❤ period
I’m so ready for this
How about have a seamstress attempt to make a copy of some of the dresses so kids can touch, smell and hear the art?
The background music drowned out much of what the curator was trying to explain.😣
Superb
