The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced Friday that British designer John Galliano will be the subject of its spring 2027 Costume Institute exhibition, "John Galliano: Horizons." The annual Met Gala will celebrate Galliano's influence on fashion while also confronting the controversy that reshaped his career.
Galliano becomes only the third living designer to receive a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The announcement was made by the museum on Friday.
The exhibition is set to explore Galliano's impact on the fashion world, acknowledging both his creative achievements and the challenges that marked his professional life. The Met Gala, a major fundraising event for the Costume Institute, will align with the exhibition's themes.
Further details about the exhibition and gala, including specific dates and participating designers, have not yet been released.
