Inside the 2026 Met Exhibition: Costume Art | Vogue

Published

on



“Fashion is very much an art form not in spite of the body, but because of it,” says Andrew Bolton, OBE, curator in charge of the Costume Institute. And this year’s exhibition, “Costume Art,” seeks not just to address this tantalizingly complex issue, but to explore it in all its many facets. The central thesis is as simple as it is thrilling: pair existing artworks with corresponding garments or accessories and let your synapses fire. The very layout of the show—broken into sections that move from Biblical nudity to the au courant idea of body diversity to the ways in which we’ve long used clothes not merely to adorn but to subvert and distort the body—indicates just how richly drawn this subject is and why it’s mesmerized artists since time immemorial.

Sinéad Burke, CEO of Tilting the Lens, emphasizes how this exhibit highlights bodies that have traditionally been overlooked, and as someone with a physical disability, she is among those featured. Her body has been memorialized in the exhibition as a custom mannequin, alongside model and musician Aariana Rose Philip, transforming their presence into a lasting part of the narrative around representation, fashion, and identity.

Additionally, this exhibition will be the first in the costume department’s new home, the Conde M. Nast Galleries. Once relegated to a modest 4,500-square-foot space in the museum’s basement, the department will now take flight in a grand, 12,000-square-foot display room on the ground floor, just off the central Great Hall. It is, says Max Hollein, the museum’s director, a symbol of how important clothing has become to The Met’s mission in exploring the many facets of art in the modern age. “We collect paintings, sculptures, textiles, arms and armor, but especially all the fashion,” he says. “And we want to make sure that it’s understood that fashion is a fantastic form of art.”

Featuring testimonials from Misty Copeland, Alex Consani, Gwendoline Christie, Aimee Mullins, Sinéad Burke, Aariana Rose Philip and more.

Karen Elson Takes An Emotional Trip Back To Oldham | British Vogue

Published

By



In this edition of Supermodel Roots, British model Karen Elson reveals never-before-heard moments from her past. With more than 35 Vogue covers, a meteoric fashion and singer-songwriter career credited to her CV, the flame-haired supermodel is one of the most renowned icons of our time. Signed at 16 years old to a model agency in her hometown of Manchester, her career in fashion soon took off (she has fronted multiple global campaigns for Miu Miu, Dior, and Louis Vuitton to name a few landmark moments). And she’s never looked back — until now.

Her journey wasn’t without its challenges, however. “I was bullied a lot. Nobody expected anything of me,” Elson tells British Vogue in this very rare, intimate documentary. “But I wanted more.” From Nashville to the north of England, watch as Elson takes British Vogue on an emotional and personal journey home.
