Invited to the Met Gala, nothing to wear? Hint: Find yourself a ‘superfine’ suit
NEW YORK (AP) - What's in a suit?
According to curators busy prepping the newest Met Gala exhibit, a whole lot more than tailoring: history, culture, identity, power and, most of all, self-expression.
"Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," this year's spring show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, will be launched as usual by the star-packed Met Gala a few nights earlier, on May 5. It's the first Met show to focus exclusively on Black designers, and the first in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme.
As always, the exhibit inspires the gala dress code, and this year's - "Tailored For You" - makes clear that guests are invited to be as creative as possible within the framework of classic tailoring.
