The Metropolitan Museum of Art has officially announced that the 2027 Met Gala will celebrate the extraordinary career of legendary designer John Galliano. The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, John Galliano: Horizons, will serve as the inspiration for fashion’s biggest night, making Galliano only the third living designer to receive a solo exhibition from the Costume Institute while still living, following Yves Saint Laurent in 1983 and Rei Kawakubo in 2017.

Opening on May 9, 2027, the exhibition will trace Galliano’s remarkable career from his groundbreaking graduate collection at Central Saint Martins through his influential tenures at Givenchy, Christian Dior, Maison Margiela, and his own label. Organized into three sections, the exhibition will explore the evolution of one of fashion’s most imaginative designers, highlighting the artistry, craftsmanship, and storytelling that have defined his work for more than four decades.

The exhibition will also examine one of the most controversial moments of Galliano’s career. Rather than overlooking his 2011 dismissal from Dior and his namesake label following antisemitic remarks that resulted in a criminal conviction in France, the exhibition will place those events within the broader context of his career, exploring the intersection of artistic achievement, accountability, and redemption.

In announcing the exhibition, Anna Wintour praised Galliano’s ability to blend scholarship with imagination, describing his work as a fusion of past, present, and future that continues to inspire the fashion industry. From his theatrical runway spectacles to his transformative couture collections, Galliano has left an undeniable mark on modern fashion.

Fashion fans can expect the 2027 Met Gala red carpet to embrace Galliano’s signature aesthetic, with dramatic silhouettes, couture craftsmanship, historical references, lavish embellishments, and theatrical beauty moments. If history is any indication, celebrities and designers alike will interpret the theme through bold, imaginative looks inspired by one of fashion’s greatest visionaries.

John Galliano: Horizons opens to the public on May 9, 2027, and runs through January 9, 2028. As always, the Met Gala will officially launch the exhibition, bringing together fashion’s biggest names for the Costume Institute’s annual fundraising event.

I’m just starting to go through all of the stuff that I bought at the Nordstrom sale… but these pinstriped jeans are definite keepers for me. They’re a little bit unusual — I can’t remember having pinstriped jeans before? — but the fit is good, the length is right (I’m 5’3 and take petites), and hey, I have enough boring dark wash denim anyways. (In fact, the Wit & Wisdom denim tends to be a reader favorite during the NAS!)

The pants are $59 right now, but will go back up to $88 after the sale ends.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

How pretty is this puff-sleeved sweater from T Tahari? A short-sleeved sweater is a staple item for me in the summer, and this gorgeous citron yellow color will transition beautifully from summer to fall. Wear it with a black midi skirt now and add some tights and boots once the temperatures start to drop. 

The sweater is $24.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes XS-XL. It’s also available in black with a white flower.

This past week we had a couple of mornings cool enough for a jacket on the walk out, then warm again by lunch, and my cart has followed. Green satin with a glassy finish. A feathered brooch pinned somewhere unexpected. Sandals I can still wear at 3pm. One small detail is usually all it takes.

Etro is one of the places I go for print, so I saved several pieces from their new home collection almost immediately, including paisley patterns and fan motifs. Exactly the kind of detail I’m looking forward to setting out come early fall.

Back-to-school is showing up for the girls in the sweetest ways. Trimmed collars, printed pants, and sturdy sandals hanging onto the last of summer.
