Mitre is right: the Met Ball takes on Catholicism
Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination has been unveiled as the theme to next year’s fashion Oscars in New York
Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination will be the theme of the 2018 Met Gala, it was announced this afternoon. Heralded as the Oscars of the fashion industry thanks to its starry guest list, the event takes place on the first Monday of May and acts as the opening party of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual exhibition of the same title. The theme is already expected to ignite controversy when attendees arrive on the steps of the institution dressed in their – or their chosen designer’s – interpretation of a major world religion.
