Stars in Burberry at MET GALA 2017

Christopher Bailey hosted a table at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit in New York on Monday night 1st May, celebrating the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between exhibition.

The Costume Institute’s Spring 2017 exhibition examined the work of Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo, known for her avant-garde designs and ability to challenge conventional notions of beauty, good taste, and fashionability. The thematic show will feature approximately 150 examples of Kawakubo’s womenswear for Comme des Garçons dating from the early 1980s to her most recent collection.

The benefit supported “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” – an exhibition which will run at the Museum from 4th May to 4th September.

Hosted by co-chairs Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour. Rei Kawakubo and Ambassador Caroline Kennedy served as Honorary Chairs.
