]]>Theme & Dress Code
Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion has been chosen as the theme of this year’s Met Gala, and it’s all about celebrating garments that are too fragile to be worn again. The official dress code is “The Garden of Time”, so it’s safe to expect we’ll see a lot of floral dresses on the red carpet.
Vintage, archival looks will probably have a moment, as well, since the Costume Institute’s new exhibition aims to explore the cyclical themes of rebirth and renewal in fashion by displaying 250 garments and accessories spanning four centuries of fashion history.
Co-Chairs
Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour will return as the Met Gala’s co-chair, and she’ll be in pretty good company this time around. After taking the Met Gala carpet by storm on several occasions, Zendaya was finally invited to serve as one of the chairs, alongside Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth.
Time & Place
The Met Gala traditionally takes place on the first Monday of May, and it will return to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City on May 6.

]]>According to Vogue’s official statement, the Costume Institute’s next exhibition will put approximately 250 items from its permanent collection on full display. One thing that sets them apart from the rest of the Met’s collection is their dormant, underappreciated beauty since they’ve been rarely seen in public before.
“Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” will chronicle 400 years of fashion history, covering everything from 17th-century English Elizabethan-era designs to modern-day creators from 21st-century designers, such as Phillip Lim and Stella McCartney. It will also include designs from many fashion industry icons, from Elsa Schiaparelli and Yves Saint Laurent to Christian Dior and Hubert de Givenchy.
Andrew Bolton will be in charge of curating the new exhibition, which will be brought to life through modern technology. Video animation, light projection, and illusion techniques will be used to create an immersive sensorial experience, evoking the movement, feel, sound, and smell of each piece on display.
The “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition grace the Metropolitan Museum of Art between May 10 and September 2, 2024, and the Met Gala on May 6, 2024, will serve as its grand opening.

]]>Abloh passed away after a private battle with a rare form of cancer. Bernard Arnault, the CEO of Louis Vuitton’s parent company LVMH, described him as “a genius designer” and “a visionary” in an official statement following his tragic death.
“He was also a man with a beautiful soul and great wisdom. The LVMH family joins me in this moment of great sorrow, and we are all thinking of his loved ones after the passing of their husband, their father, their brother, or their friend,” said Arnault.
(@off____white)Many of Abloh past collaborators sent condolences to his family and celebrated the designer’s legacy, including Pharrell Williams, Drake, LeBron James, Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and more. Kanye West, who hired him as his creative director at the very beginning of his career, posted a flash page to his official website, reading “In Loving Memory Of Virgil Abloh, The Creative Director Of Donda.”
Virgil Abloh found mainstream success after starting his high-end streetwear brand Off-White in 2012. He made history as the first black designer to be appointed as the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear line in 2018 and assumed this role until his death.

]]>The post Ariana Grande Teases Her Upcoming Brand R.E.M. Beauty appeared first on Our Fashion Trends.
]]>Grande is following the footsteps of fellow hit-makers Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and Halsey by launching her own beauty brand, but this is no news to her fans. The rumors of its launch have been flying around all the way since 2019, when she filed for a trademark for beauty and skincare products, under the title “Thank U, Next”.
Grande apparently opted for a different title along the way, since she’s currently busy teasing the cosmetics brand called R.E.M. Beauty. It’s named after the song “R.E.M.”, featured on her fourth studio album Sweetener, and she described it as a song about “dreaming someone into your life”.
R.E.M. Beauty could potentially feature concealers, lash serums, eyeshadows, eyeliners, lipsticks, highlighters, and hair extensions, but not much is known about its release at the moment. In addition to launching an official website and Instagram page, Grande also teased the brand with several billboards across NYC’s Times Square, but they simply state that R.E.M. is “coming soon”.

The Met Gala is expected to keep exploring a similar theme in 2022, with the follow-up exhibit “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”. If everything goes according to plan, this star-studded event will return on its storied date on the first Monday of May next year—May 2nd, 2022.
According to Costume Institute’s head curator Andrew Bolton, the key themes will include “the emergence of an identifiable American style and the rise of the named designer with an individual aesthetic vision.” He told Vogue that they’ll collaborate with American directors to create a cinematic experience in each room, which will depict different stages in the history of American fashion and reflect the personal relationship we have with fashion.

]]>Louis Vuitton’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière praised her as “an exceptional young woman who represents her generation and is a role model for everyone” and expressed excitement for joining forces with her, starting with the upcoming Spring-Summer 2021 collection.
“Her career and convictions are inspiring and I am in awe of Naomi. She stays true to herself and doesn’t compromise on her values. I am looking forward to sharing new projects with Naomi in the year to come!”, Ghesquière said in a statement.
Osaka echoed his statement and said it’s an honor to work with Ghesquière because he shares her love of Japanese culture and style. Being Louis Vuitton’s new brand ambassador is also quite personal for the tennis champion because she bought her very first Louis Vuitton bag as a present for her mom when she was 16 and she’s been doing it ever since.
