The Met Announces Spring 2027 Exhibition 'extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday,' With the Met Gala Set for May 3, 2027
The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced on November 5 that the Costume Institute's spring 2027 exhibition will be "extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday," on view from May 9, 2027 to January 9, 2028 at The Met Fifth Avenue. The Costume Institute Benefit, the Met Gala, will take place on Monday, May 3, 2027, with Member Previews on May 4, 6, 7 and 8.
Departing from haute couture spectacle, the exhibition turns to the most ordinary clothes in the closet. It opens with Jun Takahashi's Undercover fall 2024-25 "Watching a Working Woman" collection, inspired in part by Wim Wenders's film Perfect Days. One principal section, "Familiar Forms," covers jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, biker jackets, trench coats and puffers, including Matthieu Blazy's jeans for Bottega Veneta, a Gianfranco Ferré shirt, Marc Jacobs's 1993 flannel for Perry Ellis, a Junya Watanabe biker jacket, Jonathan Anderson for Loewe and Moncler 1 Pierpaolo Piccioli. A second section, "Common Matter," explores paper, plastic and metal, with Rei Kawakubo's 1992 Comme des Garçons dress, Martin Margiela, a 2003 Helmut Lang jacket, Issey Miyake and Glenn Martens's 2027 dress for Maison Margiela. The show closes with Kunihiko Morinaga's Anrealage.
The exhibition is organized by Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute's Curator in Charge, with Stephanie Kramer and Emily Mushaben, and designed by 1009. The exhibition and Benefit are made possible by Instagram, with major funding from Moncler, additional support from Condé Nast and education programs supported by Jordan Roth. Both Met director Max Hollein and Bolton frame the show as an argument that everyday garments carry real design history and cultural meaning. (Source: The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
