The first Monday in May is synonymous with the Met Gala, a benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute where garments take center stage. “It isn’t about promoting a movie or playing a character—it’s all about the clothes,” says stylist Kate Young, who first experienced the event by working at it as part of her job at Vogue. “Designers live for it.” This year, the affair hasn’t happened yet—it may happen this fall—but to mark the annual occasion, Young decided to revisit some of her favorite moments from past Met Galas for the eighth episode of Hello Fashion, created with The Slowdown.
