The Art of Fashion The Met Gala's Influence on Style Evolution

The Met Gala, formally known as the Met Costume Institute Gala, began in 1948 as a fundraiser to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Arts' Costume Institute in New York City. But it was not until the 1970s that the event received a lot of interest and eventually became the famous celebration of culture, art, and, perhaps most importantly, the fashion we see in the present.
