Here's an explanation of 2020's Met Gala theme, 'Time: Fashion and Duration.'
Just a few years ago, the Met Gala themes were as simple as the name of a label, like Comme des Garçons, or a style, like punk. But those days seem to be in the past. Even though celebrities interpreted this past year's theme, camp, with varying degrees of success, the Metropolitan Museum of Art appears to be sticking with complexity: On Thursday, it announced that next year's Costume Institute exhibition will be titled "About Time: Fashion and Duration.
Abstract as that may be, it certainly fits in with the fact that the Met will be celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2020. Oddly enough, though, that doesn't seem to have factored very much into the Costume Institute's decision-making. Mark Bolton, its lead curator, told the he was simply looking for "something that connects to the zeitgeist, and what people are talking about now." And what's more timely than time?" approach. "It's a reimagining of fashion history that’s fragmented, discontinuous, and heterogeneous," Bolton said.
As for inspiration, Bolton is looking to the theories of Henri Bergson, a 20th-century French philosopher, as well as both versions of—the 1928 novel by Virginia Woolf, and the 1992 film adaptation by director Sally Potter, which center on a person who suddenly transforms into a woman after spending hundreds of years living as a man.
