An Evening Of Fashion That Celebrated Sustainability In Style

 

Sustainable Fashion Grabs The Limelight At Met Gala 2022

Waste Isn’t Waste until we waste It

This year’s Met Gala was all about championing sustainability and celebration of eco-friendly fashion. The event will act as a torch bearer for communities in the years to come as the international model donned the upcycled, repurposed and recycled gowns, reminding people about beauty of preserving and maintaining garments and relationships.

Sands Of Time

Since its very inception in 1870, the Metropolitan Museum Of Art has been documenting the most memorable, beautiful and important impressions of time by the greatest of artists in the history of mankind. In the present day scenario, it’s the home to rare art and artefacts from the last 5000 years!

 

House Of Stars

Right after the two world wars, as the human race started its bid to rise like a phoenix from the ruins resulted by the catastrophes, the Super Bowl of fashion, known as Met Gala, unfolded its fascinating saga in 1946. It was primarily meant to be a fund raising initiative for the wonder that’s Metropolitan Museum Of Art.

Fashion With A Difference

Often dubbed as the greatest evening of the year, Met Gala is known for initiating changes and setting trends in an impeccable manner. This time too it was no exception as it turned the pages of fashion history to bring back live the iconic Gilded Age (the golden era of fashion spanning from 1870 to 1900). Keeping in mind the growing concern over environmental issues, celebs sported outfits that were made from upcycled or repurposed textiles or the vintage ones from the locker rooms. Among all, Kim Kardashian grabbed the eyeballs and took the centre stage as she donned Marilyn Monroe’s historic “Happy Birthday Mr. President” costume, which created sensations in 1962. Billie Eillish who turned up in a completely upcycled Gucci gown, said, “I just wanted to be as eco-friendly as possible”.

Loud And Clear

The message at this year’s Met Gala, was quite strong against fast fashion, which results in one garbage truck of textiles per second. It can be said undoubtedly, that the recently concluded edition of the fashion world’s flagship event went on to create global awareness about slow fashion to a great extent.

Much Needed Voice

It was the need of the hour to take such a stern stance regarding the climate crisis as it’s a now or never situation. We are solely responsible for the ongoing severe global environmental threat as singer Camila Cabello who wore an upcycled dress, rightly pointed out, “all of those things have gotten us to the climate crisis”.
