As it was announced last October this year’s theme is Comme des Garçons’s Rei Kawakubo. According to PopSugar, Kawakubo is the second living designer to be honored at the annual exhibit, following Yves Saint Laurent in 1983. This year’s co-chairs are New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady and Supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The annual fundraiser gala will mark the opening of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Spring 2017 exhibition, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between starting May 4th and going thru September 4th.
For more information on the exhibit visit the Met on their website.
Rei Kawakubo founded Comme des Garçons Co. Ltd in Tokyo in 1973.
Stay tuned for all the looks from the 2017 Met Gala red carpet here on My Own Sense of Fashion.
