I’ve long been obsessed with Andrew Boltons in-depth knowledge and analysis of fashion. And on a side note he did this whole dissertation in a mask, a symbol of mask advocacy 👏🏽

Could have worn that plaid dress to a Christmas ball at Balmoral in 1850. It is lovely and nods to Dior, but only if you add side seam pockets.

[@RoseOfMadina]

I looooove the pink pladd dress! It reminds me of Victorian gowns.

[@Kburzon]

Every time I’ve seen Eva Chen on TV or RUclips she’s had a baby bump. You go girl!

[@RoseOfMadina]

This sounds amazing! I wish I could visit it... alas I'm about a continent away.

[@marie-louisehennebry6747]

It sounds fantastic - I can't wait!

[@federicamartorano4949]

I'm in love with this theme

[@Sabrina-wn6ey]

I am looking forward to seeing this in person next summer.

[@VictoriaVlogz]

I plan to visit once Part 2 opens. I will post a video of it to my channel then; most likely in June 2022.

[@helohalo3106]

Second part of the expo sounds interesting.

[@themarquis336]

Hadn’t we already seen this video before? 🤔

[@knightshade6232]

wow the met is so great, but it stop when kim presented her self in a blackdress,,, I was hoping to see native culture artist or designers at the event, but only one showed up with an indian identity inspired creation, I'm hoping to see more to highlight native culture despite modernity & racism

[@RapidObsessor]

wait does that mean next may's met gala is going to be an America theme again?? y'all please no.

[@sam49271]

A question; why are all the featured artists in this video men? I only assume such because it seems that Andrew used he/him pronouns for them. So why no women?

[@noamsayne7145]

Wait, the Met owns tens of thousands of historical garments and they're focusing on politically focused, privileged couture from 2018 through 2020? "Creating a Lexicon" sounds like a lot of pretentious nonsense, unworthy of a great museum. NS

[@colleenmcdonald2470]

Gosh, it is all about politics.

someone get this man a suit jacket his size.
