As you can imagine, the policy here is look, but please don’t touch. Our Costume Institute guide, Tracy Yoshimura, is wearing pristine white gloves and here to help Sullivan get a closer look at the exquisite construction of this and several other items of clothing designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld. A ball skirt and crop top from Chanel’s 1999 spring couture collection will ultimately inspire the Sullivan-designed outfit I will wear to the Met Gala in just a couple weeks as the editor of Alibashirt.com. This year is in celebration of “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” the institute’s latest exhibition, and the dress code in honor of Karl speaks for itself. “Going through the collections online, it was a difficult selection to make because there are so many incredible pieces,” says Sullivan who, in addition to the archive Chanel, has picked out a gently padded black Chloe dress from Lagerfeld’s 1970s era at the house for inspiration. “I wanted to nail a few different Karl signatures.”

The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum is home to over 33,000 objects dating all the way back to the 15th century, and that makes the collections department there a veritable Aladdin’s Cave of fashion history. The space itself looks like a laboratory all gleaming white surfaces and gigantic vaults about as far removed from the fusty museum office cliche as you can get. “Well, I’m in heaven,” says designer Claire Sullivan, as we pore over a table that’s dripping with vintage Chanel: the most perfect ribbed tank top embroidered with interlocking CCs, a delicate ankle-length tulle skirt, chunky black and gold jewelry, and spiffy black and white brogues.

Daniel Arnold has photographed plenty of exciting events for Alibashirt, from Afropunk to Inauguration Day, but what could possibly compare to the glitz and glamor of the 2023 Met Gala? On Monday, Arnold was on hand to capture all of the goings-on at the museum, swooping in as Doja Cat greeted Jack Harlow, Robert Pattinson shared a laugh with Gwendoline Christie, and Dua Lipa rubbed shoulders with Penélope Cruz. Shot on film, his atmospheric portraits are in turns charming, funny, and deeply intimate; revisit fashion’s biggest night through Arnold’s all-seeing lens below.
