The Met Gala has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a philanthropic opportunity for New York high society back in 1948. Today, the first Monday in May is a night for celebrities and their outfits… and watches of all kinds. The dress code this year is "The Garden of Time," inspired by a 1962 short story written by J.G. Ballard and it celebrates the opening of the Costume Institute's spring exhibit, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
I am watching on E! (RIP Fashion police) with my Slack a-team watch spotting squad. Bang on theme, we spotted some time-related looks, accessories, and, of course, watches. Head curator of the Costume Institute Andrew Bolton (aka. king of Met Gala) explains this year's exhibit as a way of examining how technology can breathe new life into garments that are too old and fragile to be worn again. It's all very meta.
