Although the Met announces the subject for the public almost on its date, it is no secret to anyone that this 2023 edition will be a tribute to the legend Karl Lagerfeld, known as the kayser of fashion.

There were ten models, in ten looks made by ten designers in a tribute and tribute at the same time for Vogue as the official launch of what would be the theme of the next Met 2023 edition, reinterpreting creations from an emblematic legacy. You couldn’t even miss a famous cat; all gathered in the Grand Palais in Paris as a stage. Names like Galiano, Versace, Rousteing, came together for Vogue in an edition to remember.

Naomi Campbell was Lagerfeld’s iconic model and great friend. In the image she is holding Choupette, the beloved cat and heiress to the kayser.

In the words of a letter written in the form of a column by the director of both Vogue America and host of the Met Gala, Anna Wintour maintains:

“All credit goes to Andrew Bolton, the brilliant curator at the Costume Institute who has titled the new exhibition ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A line of Beauty’, after the painter William Hogarth, who posited that a constantly changing and turning line captures more energy and life than a straight line.I can’t imagine a better metaphor for Karl’s revolutionary effect on fashion.

A life like Karl’s – glorious, restless, public and full of fascinating twists and turns and transformations – deserves a celebration, and that’s what we’ve arranged. Vogue reviews Karl’s story, his work at Chanel, Chloé, Fendi and his own brand.”
