This year’s dress code is “The Garden of Time,” a concept inspired by JG Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same name. Essentially, the theme examines the intrinsic connection between time and natural beauty, leaving the door wide open for participants to interpret the dress code as they wish.

“The Garden of Time” also complements the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which will include approximately “250 objects spanning four centuries” from the Institute’s extensive collection, all “visually united by an iconography linked to nature”. , which will serve as a metaphor for the fragility and ephemerality of fashion,” according to a press release. The exhibition will also showcase a number of modern technologies, “from cutting-edge tools, artificial intelligence and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of x-ray, video animation, light projection and soundscapes “.
