The fashion world is honouring the late Karl Lagerfeld in a big way. The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced on Friday morning that the theme for the 2023 Costume Institute Benefit, aka the Met Gala, will be “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”.
The announcement was made at Lagerfeld’s photo studio in Paris, which journalist Derek Blasberg noted has remained “untouched” since the designer and Chanel creative director’s 2019 death.
The upcoming exhibition will feature 150 of Lagerfeld’s designs from Chanel, Balmain, Patou, Fendi, Chloe and his own personal line.
