The 2027 Met Gala Is Going From John Galliano to Jeans and T-Shirts With Its New Theme

The Costume Institute is trading a controversial designer retrospective for an exhibition about everyday fashion, from wardrobe staples to disposable materials.

The 2027 Met Gala is going back to basics, starting with the annual event’s new theme. “ExtraOrdinary: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday” replaces the controversial, canceled John Galliano “Horizons” retrospective originally planned by the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art. The new theme pares back the glamour for a return to everyday wardrobe staples.

The exhibition will be two-pronged, with one element focusing on how designers reimagine wardrobe basics like jeans and T-shirts, the other homing in on “disposable” materials from paper to plastic, aluminum and more. Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute’s curator in charge, organized the new exhibition with assistance from Stephanie Kramer and Emily Mushaben.

Following public pushback, John Galliano and the Met scrapped the planned retrospective in August. “After much reflection and discussion with The Met and all those involved, I have decided, with great sadness, that it is best for the exhibition not to take place at this time,” the designer said in a post on his Instagram account.

Galliano was previously prosecuted over incidents that took place between October 2010 and February 2011, during which the designer made antisemitic and racist remarks, some of which were caught on camera. In September 2011, a Paris court found Galliano guilty of public insults “based on religious affiliation, race, or ethnicity” and imposed a suspended fine.

After the Galliano retrospective was dropped, one source close to the Met told WWD the replacement theme would be “spectacular and very intellectual, because that is who Andrew [Bolton] is.”
