Fashion is Art
On fashion’s biggest night of the year, 74 million people viewed the red carpet show. From pearls to lace across supermodels, movie stars and singers, this years met was one of the best.
The theme this year was “Costume Art”, and Vogue defined it as “Objects in “Costume Art” are divided into a “series of thematic body types,” ranging from the “Naked Body” and the “Classical Body”—both of which are well represented within the museum’s collection—to those, like the “Pregnant Body” and the “Aging Body,” that have more often been overlooked.”
Let’s dive in to those whose looks had direct ties to art!
