The Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute exhibition is the most spectacular event of its kind. Each exhibition draws a provocative and engaging narrative attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors. Covering the Costume Institute's history and highlighting exhibitions of the twenty-first century curated by Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton, this book offers insider access of the first order. Anchored by photographs from the exhibitions themselves in tandem with the Vogue fashion shoots they inspired, it also includes images of exhibited objects and party photos from the annual opening night galas.
