The Met Gala 2023 – a picture tribute to Karl Lagerfeld and his celebrated career!
returns Monday 1 May 2023 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the eagerly anticipated evening has certainly caused a buzz in the fashion industry prior. From the speculation around which A-listers would be in attendance, the theme of the night, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty, is also on people’s lips.
The gala will pay tribute and honour the artistic brilliance of the late German fashion designer who was creative director of fashion house Chanel when he passed away in 2019. Lagerfeld was rumoured to have left some of his £153 million fortune to his beloved cat Choupette, who was, of course, formally invited to this year’s Met Gala as a VIP guest.
To further pay homage to Lagerfeld, The Metropolitan Museum Of Art announced that The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, open to the public until the 16th July 2023, will spotlight the creative genius behind his complex creative process. The show, also called Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty, will display more than 150 original garments which will be accompanied by some of his famous fashion sketches from his early career in the 1950s to his final collection for Chanel back in 2019.
But who exactly was the man behind the signature white hair, black sunglasses and fingerless leather gloves, whose most beloved companion was his blue-eyed cat? We take a look at some of his most iconic fashion moments, and most celebrated career highlights…In 1954, Lagerfeld embarked on a career in fashion. His first job was working as an assistant to Pierre Balmain. Later in 1957, Jean Patou hired Lagerfeld as his art director - earning him his first major fashion role.
