The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibition is the most prestigious of its kind, featuring subjects that both reflect the zeitgeist and contribute to its creation. Each exhibition--from 2005's Chanel to 2011's Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty and 2012's Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations--creates a provocative and engaging narrative drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors. This updated edition includes material from spectacular shows such as 2015's China: Through the Looking Glass, 2018's Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination (the most visited exhibition in the museum's history), and 2019's Camp: Notes on Fashion. The show's opening-night gala, produced in collaboration with Vogue magazine, is regularly referred to as the party of the year, and draws a glamorous A-list crowd, drawing an unrivaled mix of Hollywood fashion. This beautiful coffee table volume allows readers to experience the wonders of these exhibitions.
