The theme for the 2027 Met Gala has been announced!
On Friday (July 31), Anna Wintour and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute revealed that next year’s big fashion event will be held in honor of designer John Galliano.
“John Galliano: Horizons,” the spring 2027 exhibition at the Costume Institute, will examine and exalt the work of the iconic designer.
“There is no one more deserving of an exhibition of this scale than John Galliano,” Anna shared in a statement, per Vogue. “His body of work—at Dior, Givenchy, Margiela, his namesake label and more—combines erudition and creativity, darkness and light, the past, the present, the future all smashing together in a brilliant way.”
She continued, “He’s a great designer and his career isn’t defined by a moment—something that he will live with for the rest of his life. The exhibition won’t shy away from any of the darkness in John’s past. It’s part of what has shaped him. The show will take in the full arc of his career and grapple with all of it.”
Galliano is now the third living designer the Met Gala has honored with an exhibition, joining Yves Saint Laurent in 1983 and Comme des Garçons’ Rei Kawakubo in 2017.
As of right now, the 2027 Met Gala‘s celebrity cochairs and official dress code have not been announced.
The 2027 Met Gala is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 3, 2027.
