After months of speculation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced on Friday morning that its 2017 spring Costume Institute exhibit and gala will honor legendary Comme des Garçons designer Rei Kawakubo. This will be just the second spring exhibit in the museum's history to spotlight a living designer, the first being Yves Saint Laurent in 1973.
Confirmed to Fashionista by a representative for Vogue,
the 2017 Met Gala will take place on Monday, May 1 with Katy Perry and Pharrell Williams serving as the party's co-chairs and Apple, Condé Nast, Farfetch, H&M and Maison Valentino as its sponsors. Vogue and The New York Times were the first to report the announcement.
