fashion and beauty: Met Gala 2020 theme announced: It's "About Time"

       The announcement for this years Met Gala, has finally been made. In the following article, pertaining to fashion and beauty, " Met Gala 2020 theme announced: It's About Time" Clarke first talks briefly on the Met Gala and the meaning behind the event. The author states how important the 150th anniversary of the the Met Gala fundraiser is to the guest-only invite list. The theme for this years Met is"About Time: Fashion and Duration" meaning the attire would be focused around the 1870's but take a "journey" through the 19th and 20th century to present day. The Met is influenced by a French philosopher, Henri Bergson's, this is important to clearly understand because some celebrities had not dressed the part at the 2019 Gala. 
       The scenery of this year's Met is said to be focused around black and white contrasting to express "the evolution of modernity" according to Clarke. The message behind this years Met is contrasting flashback with modern fashion and is the conception of how fashion has changed over the years whilst staying the same. Along with having aspects of the past and present at the Met, the future of fashion will also have its own featured exhibit.
