To be clear: this year\u2019s theme, &#8220;Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,&#8221; isn\u2019t without controversy or fault. I\u2019d be remiss not to acknowledge my own hypocrisy in finding genius (and where possible: collecting) in the work of a man so deeply problematic. Surely, there were more singular designers worth highlighting\u2014equally talented and far less consumed by apparent misery and oft-hateful rhetoric\u2014but the industry at the helm of a persistent guard will remain as is until its next wave. None of this is to undermine Karl Lagerfeld\u2019s prolific career, of course: his influence is boundless and still determines the course of taste today. Is it possible to look past the man and still celebrate the work of the teams and craftspeople who brought his vision to life, though? I\u2019m not quite sure what the answer is, but I welcome surer, firmer thoughts below. In the meantime: these were my favorite looks of the night\u2014unequivocally best-dressed Met Gala attendees in my eyes. .\u00a0 \u00a0.\u00a0 \u00a0. xx","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/chanel-archival-look-1990s-couture-karl-lagerfeld.jpeg"}
