Met Gala 2023: Live from the red carpet.

Fashion’s biggest night out is finally here, and we are looking at it right in the eye, celebrating Karl Lagerfeld’s multi-decade legacy as a designer, image maker, photographer and artist, who always explored the depth of current culture, sketching and drawing out decadence.

The rich archive of ideas, personally sketched out and executed into meticulous detail, represented Lagerfeld’s constant thirst for knowledge, and his curiousity of the ever-changing world. Launching many current fashion faces like Cara Delevingne, Kristen Steward and Lily Rose-Depp into grand stardom, the designer always aimed at expressing his opinion, and exploratory vision outwards into his collections. This year’s Met Gala exhibition, co-chaired by Penélope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel, and Roger Federer, aims to showcase the creative beginnings, and rich archive of Lagerfeld’s life - from his formative years as a designer at Chloé, throughout the 30+ years at Fendi, and his biggest tenure at Chanel.
