Met Gala Disappoints Unlike “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”

Installed in the Met’s American Wing period rooms, the show will highlight individual U.S. designers and dressmakers from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.

It will also feature vignettes designed by eight big-name directors (including the likes of Sophia Coppola and Tom Ford). Guided by the “curatorial visions” of Andrew Bolton, Jessica Regan, and Amelia Peck, the contributions of these directors are intended to offer multiple artistic perspectives on the evolution of fashion in America.
