The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Wednesday unveiled the theme for the Costume Institute's 2024 exhibition and gala, the fashion world's party of the year "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."With the exhibition, he said he hopes to "reawaken the sort of sensorial capacities within fashions in the Costume Institute, through various technologies."
The theme should not be confused with Disney’s Princess Aurora. But, according to Vogue, the term “Sleeping Beauties” refers to the pieces that stay in storage because there s no practical way to display or wear them.
Anna Wintour invited Sam Bankman-Fried to the Met Gala during a Zoom meeting on Valentine's Day in 2022. She even suggested he finance the whole event.
