“Fashion is very much an art form not in spite of the body, but because of it,” says Andrew Bolton, OBE, curator in charge of the Costume Institute. And this year’s exhibition, “Costume Art,” seeks not just to address this tantalizingly complex issue, but to explore it in all its many facets. The central thesis is as simple as it is thrilling: pair existing artworks with corresponding garments or accessories and let your synapses fire. The very layout of the show—broken into sections that move from Biblical nudity to the au courant idea of body diversity to the ways in which we’ve long used clothes not merely to adorn but to subvert and distort the body—indicates just how richly drawn this subject is and why it’s mesmerized artists since time immemorial.
Sinéad Burke, CEO of Tilting the Lens, emphasizes how this exhibit highlights bodies that have traditionally been overlooked, and as someone with a physical disability, she is among those featured. Her body has been memorialized in the exhibition as a custom mannequin, alongside model and musician Aariana Rose Philip, transforming their presence into a lasting part of the narrative around representation, fashion, and identity.
Additionally, this exhibition will be the first in the costume department’s new home, the Conde M. Nast Galleries. Once relegated to a modest 4,500-square-foot space in the museum’s basement, the department will now take flight in a grand, 12,000-square-foot display room on the ground floor, just off the central Great Hall. It is, says Max Hollein, the museum’s director, a symbol of how important clothing has become to The Met’s mission in exploring the many facets of art in the modern age. “We collect paintings, sculptures, textiles, arms and armor, but especially all the fashion,” he says. “And we want to make sure that it’s understood that fashion is a fantastic form of art.”
Featuring testimonials from Misty Copeland, Alex Consani, Gwendoline Christie, Aimee Mullins, Sinéad Burke, Aariana Rose Philip and more.

Firstly, Liza is awesome and I love her energy and beautiful, fun, sweet personality and I actually love the dress but tbh I don’t think the purple eyeshadow was a good choice and I feel like something like a cute, short afro with some type(s) of silver headpiece(s) would have looked better. But that doesn’t matter because Liza loves it and that’s what’s important. Plus, she killed the interviews!

Look at her so happy. She feels powerful and confident and beautiful. She was out there wearing that dress and slaying. She was there for the Met gala. Not you and I. So some people need to stop exhibiting hate. Don’t watch her if you don’t like her or the dress that she loves. Simple?

Why does all those dresses look like crap ? I didn’t find a single dress that looked normal and of the kind someone would wear to a place were celebrities go. And even the celebrities were wearing dresses that looked like these. These dresses look like a terrible wardrobe malfunction. ACTUALLY, what’s up with everyone? Is 2019 met gala themed of some kind of boxes or or squares or are they themed of dress codes and fashion in some late future or something?
