Each year the Metropolitan Museum of Arts hosted the world's largest fashion show.
The stairs to the Met, the famous red carpet has risen in popularity.
It is like a theatre.
Fashion can create a dream, a fantasy.
But there are different opinions about fashion fits at the Met.
LEAVE THE PRIORITY FOR ART TRANSPORT
Kostyminstitutet at the Met houses the world's largest fashion line.
Each year created a major exhibition that opens the first Monday in may.
Some have a 1800-talsuppfattning of what art is.
There are people in the museum who still dismiss the fashion.
When I started as a curator was the art of painting, architecture and sculpture.
Everything else was just decorative, something to be looked down on.
Courage is just one example of it.
The museum is a small private world. A own small town.
Some traditionalists felt that it would be handled in a certain way.
A Kostyminstitut made them perhaps uncomfortable.
Physically is a repository underground.
They placed us in the northern section-
-in a basement.
You didn't look at it as a part of the art.
Fashion is considered to be the more feminine way than painting.
It may be the reason why some are quick to dismiss the fashion.
Fashion seems frivolous and trivial for the attitude in the 1800s.
But it has conceptual thinking, aesthetic principles-
-and the most refined techniques.
Everything we put into the art criteria.
The clothes are works of art for us.
It is rare to find someone so creative-
- that it can change the perception of the art.
But it definitely made the McQueen.
Alexander McQueen has been found dead. A suspected suicide.
Brilliant and controversial.
British fashion bad boy dog as an icon.
An inspiring designer who changed the fashion industry.
They shut the shops in the day, and weeping people thronged outside.
It was at the after-effects of McQueens suicide-
- Andrew came to me and told me that he thought of an exhibition.
Tom thought initially that it was a bit macabre.
There has to be a time before we did a McQueenutställning.
Many thought that it was not appropriate so soon after his death.
But Andrew is the visionary-
- and our job is to help him to realize his ingenious creativity.
The combination of the objects, the theatrical staging, the sound...
They were an immersive component of the exhibition...
that meant that it was a phenomenon. We were not prepared for it.
People were queuing around the whole museum. It had not happened in many years.
It struck a chord with people, which I have not seen before.
It redefined the creation of the exhibits at the museum.
2015 was moved Andrews McQueen exhibition, Savage Beauty
- to the Victoria and Albert museum in London.
It was a turning point for how the art critic looked at fashion.
It was the first time they looked at it as an art form.
When confronted with genius, appeals to all.
McQueen was one of the most provocative designers.
I have always seen the beauty and the deeply romantic in his work.
He tried to mix the beauty with the grotesque and horror.
He had the ability to use clothes that influenced a.
McQueenutställningen has become some kind of albatross.
It is the exhibition that everything I do is compared with.
In the New York Times prints all the time...
"Not as good as McQueenutställningen."
It will be a disappointment to read it.
Given that all the exhibits have their own strength.
I remember that we had yrkesvalslärare in the school.
They asked us what our dream job was.
I said that mine was a curator at the Met. I was only 17 then.
It was really a dream that came true.
I am seduced by the romance and to confuse away at the museum.
You found things you had not expected.
But overwhelming was the fear I felt for the museum and the curators.
I felt like a scam. I was afraid of being found out-
, that I had what it took.
I feel a little bit so still.
The exhibition will be titled, "China through the looking glass".
A collaboration between Kostyminstitutet and the asian art department.
We want to show how western designers gained inspiration from China.
There is an ongoing dialogue between the East and the West.
Fashion is easier to understand than the language.
My shows are personal. I'm tired of hearing that McQueen
- was the most successful exhibition we've done.
It would be great if China pushed down from the pedestal.
In 2014 we had the opportunity to capture the creation of:
China Through the Looking Glass.
8 Months until the Opening.
It is like the great wall of china.
- We start from the beginning. - It is the largest we have done.
We have a whole section based on porcelain, from Molyneux to the 1900s.
- And then Sarah's... - They were incredible.
This is Guo Pei, a chinese designer, Cavalli, Karl, Rodarte...
It leads to the St-Laurent chinese collection and his opiumdoft.
We borrow them from the St Laurent's archives.
But most of it comes from John's chinese collection for Dior.
John galliano's " spring collection 2013, Dior arriving at the Met.
Look at the big picture.
I love skrädderiarbetet.
Galliano is difficult to place.
He has a variety of ideas in one and the same collection.
He has been inspired by the 1700-century pannier, and turned on the front.
He refers as much to the Bowery and the queen mother.
1700s, Pekingoperan, Kabuki.
He is an amazing storyteller when it comes to fantasy and romance.
I wanted to interview him for he is inspired constantly by China.
What surprised me was that China all the time inspired you.
- Why China? - I think it was...
the sense of mystery and danger...
But the feeling of danger you get from the Hollywood karaktärsskildringar.
The mixture of chinese opera, geisha, and the queen mother.
I have not had the intention to restore China.
I have not been able to achieve.
It was a fantasibild of China.
A fictional character is created.
It feels like I live it, breathe it.
I am painting up who she is. How she looks in the glow of candlelight.
You can feel the scent of the lipstick.
I like to express myself through cutting.
Every time you tillskär a fabric occurs, a different relation to it.
It may be that kvicksilverolja.
Or that licorice.
The creative process is my meditation.
Playing with fabrics, shapes and volumes is something I love.
Because of it, I can actually consider-
- to go back to an industry where I am an outcast.
The fantasy world I create is escapism for me.
John weaves into the very personal-
- and clearly bizarre stories in its fashion.
It is easy to dismiss designers craze for China as illegitimate.
I want to focus on the artwork, which are an example of the designers imagination.
One thinks of St Laurent. He changed fashion history.
Yves Saint Laurent chinese collection, 1977
There are about 2000 haute couture garment?
I think there are more. Between 5000 and 6000.
- So beautiful. - This is the Mondrian.
- There are so many. - Yes, we have different versions.
Mondrianklänningen, with the idea to line up the stripes.
Ingenious, or how?
It looks so easy, but is so complex.
Incredibly radically.
- do you Have the 71:An? - Coat, yes.
Craftsmanship, his use of embroidery and its elements-
-is really an art.
Oh my god. I have not seen before.
- It is very modern. - unbelievable.
I see a kind of magic in the fashion.
It is overwhelming. A dream come true.
I grew up in a small town in England.
The only input I had to the fashion-
- was by popmagasin that arose in the 80's.
I missed punk. The first movement I encountered was new romanticism.
It was about playing with gender.
I saw people on the street and thought they looked to come from another planet.
But I also remember how brave they were.
I remember the fashion of the force
- to challenge sex and sexuality.
I have never forgotten.
I'm still the guy from Lancashire... completely in awe.
- Where is the Sing, Lawrence? - Outside on the street.
Kostyminstitutet and Vogue have a long history.
Diana Vreeland was the head after she left Vogue.
Do not just stand there!
We have a huge party each year to raise money for Kostyminstitutet.
There will be a support for our entire year's operational budget.
The Met Gala was created by a small group in the fashion industry.
It was relatively small. The department was also small.
Anna brought took it to another level considering all the money she collected.
120 million dollars only to our department.
Thanks to Anna has Kostyminstitutets exhibitions-
- hundreds of thousands of visitors to this great american museum.
Then Anna took over the Met Ball
- it has become the fashion world's Superbowl.
It required months of preparation, not only for exhibition, even for the gala.
Vogue has been meeting with Met to plan the gala.
We are beginning to plan the gala, structuring it all.
- do you Want to talk about the number of guests? - We should keep the number down.
We start with 500.
And all the starts cut down in their listings.
We are trying to.
We have problems with the chinese department.
- They can be many... - Limit guests and gratisätarna.
There must be other ways to house people. It fixes you.
Anna review everything extremely carefully.
Everything from napkins and cutlery to the lighting.
Details when it comes to flowers and publikvärdarnas trim.
All have been reviewed by her.
Will someone to stand exactly here?
- Two going to stand here. - over There also?
- Yes, we have a whole army up here. - A whole stridstrupp.
She has her generals, who works at Vogue.
Hi, girls. Today we are going to walk the path that guests will take.
Then I'll put you out. Start by going up the stairs and spread out you.
You can go up a few steps.
The Met is a place where you are very correct-
- very formal. Anna is in non-compliance some of the.
Le!
We have Dave Franco. Who is the other? Josh Hartnet.
What has he done lately? Nothing.
There is no danger. You have amazing guests right now.
You have Kendall.
Michael Cross, Liz Banks and Kate Hudson.
Prada has Emily Blunt. Ralph has Anne Hathaway.
Versace has Jlo.
Beyonce, Kim and Kanye...
Rihanna, Kara...
Amber Heard, Chastain, Julianne Moore. We all have them.
Certainly it is so?
- Will they? - We are not entirely sure yet.
As icon, Anna is unique.
Outwardly, she is editor-in-chief of an influential american magazine.
She is the artistic director of a whole raft of magazines.
But it is not really Anna Wintours strength.
Anna's gift is to make both art and culture which is not regarded-
-to cross-pollinate.
- Hi, guys. Are you ready? - It allows you to fethaja.
See how you go?
The Met Gala is the celebration of a multicultural experience.
Pop and high culture are mixed at the Metropolitan Museum.
You can have a skådespelarikon next to a musikikon, next to a political icon.
It is like a large aquarium.
There will be much reflection on the placement.
They sat next to each other last year? Have they done it on some other event?
There is a lot of work.
It is very territorial. Alex has six locations.
He takes with him, Gaga, Miley, Zoe...
- This is the Tori. - She is looking for a to.
Ricardo sitting here with Jessica, Julianne and Beyonce.
Anna has understood that the exclusive fashion...
The most extraordinary expression of this medium.
When you pair it together with the celebrities, it becomes something even greater.
That is what is happening on the red carpet.
When you see Rihanna in a couture dress it will be epic.
Each of the celebrities have chosen to wear a designerklänning.
It is like a mission.
The Met is important to me. It is the only red carpet I walk on.
Each designer takes their own muse.
A singer, a friend, a model or actress.
The most represents the aesthetics.
The attention is an increasing interest for the museum.
- I didn't think he would come. - Jo, but then he decided.
Yes, but then he is not allowed to sit in the cell phone all the time. Inform the the.
- Which is it? - The two from H and M.
We must not bury the table. Seriously...
- It is not constructive. - Okay.
- What are these? - People who I hope goes soon.
Press conference in New York city.
The exhibition will paint a fantastic picture of China.
Film is often the entry point into China of western designers.
The exhibition want to investigate the film's influence on their fantasies.
The Red Lantern in 1991, directed by Zhang Yimou.
Farewell My Concubine 1993 directed by Chen Kaige.
The film that perhaps had the biggest influence on the designers-
- is Wong Kar wai's, "In the mood for love".
In the Mood for Love (2000) directed by Wong Kar Wai.
No one has portrayed chimönstret so beautiful in the film, as Wong Kar Wai.
I have seen it a bunch of times and I love it.
It was a genuine and beautiful narrative. The colors were amazing.
After I seen it, I created my chinese collection. A year after the...
Autumn/winter haute couture collection.
You don't even need to travel there.
It is better to read a book, or see a movie and mold it in one's inner.
We thought he was the right choice to be the artistic director for the exhibition.
We are still working on the concept.
The movie should be the filter between the artworks and exclusive fashion.
Sometimes directly related, sometimes as a metaphorical pattern.
I would love if the movies projected-
- so that the characters are present throughout the exhibition.
It should not have a linear narrative structure.
It feels more like a chinese garden. It has an entrance...
but then you can wander as you want.
I shall use the medium to create continuity, but also an expression.
We have two showrooms. Kostyminstitutet in the basement.
Then we have also the chinese galleries on the second floor.
They are not designed for clothing. They are designed for works of art.
To set out clothes which is a challenge called duga.
We have over 50 galleries of asian art.
It is probably the most comprehensive asian art collections in the world.
They have major collections of chinese art in China.
They have better collections of cambodian art, Cambodia.
But we do a decent job.
I'm going to have six metres long plexistavar in different sizes.
- It is the first room? - Yes, bambuskogen.
The platform goes all the way and turn...
The height of the trees go right up to the Arthur Sackler gallery.
While going through the buddahsalen brought you into another world.
We have tried to show chinese art from a chinese perspective.
It is not Disneyland.
A four-meter-wide platform, and cover it with grey mirrors.
Too much Disney, according to Michael.
We'll still have panels, so we might as well build them.
The curators were concerned about what signals it sent out.
It can start a debate on colonialism... orientalism.
It can be interpreted as racist.
In the West it played no role if the man was talking about China, Japan or Korea.
All were categorized as oriental.
There is still a feeling that using China-
-and that the West has misunderstood China.
It is not a wonderful place? Look at the faces.
Hindu, chinese, Portuguese, filipino, Russian, malay...
I didn't think these places existed, except in imagination.
Many designers of the references to China are from the 30-century movies.
China as a stereotype.
I wanted to make of the stereotypes-
- and bring out the complex and dangerous.
Even the romantic.
Anna May Wong was a hollywood star in the 30's and 40's.
She got to play the chinese kvinnostereotyper.
Either lotuskvinnan or drakkvinnan-
-which is an oriental femme fatale.
Do nothing stupid.
Drakkvinnan project our fears, desires and anxieties.
She is self-reliant, economically independent, sexually liberated.
She is a symbol for the feminist movement.
She represents the strong woman.
I thought the gentleman in the black nightgown was the boss.
He is an errand boy. The real boss is a remarkable woman.
The kallblodigaste dragon you have met.
She devours you as a cat devours a mouse.
Vogue moves into new office at One World Trade Center.
I have not seen anything similar. It is what you see when you come in?
- Is this the reception? - This will check.
I want to see the plan. This does not want to see when you come in.
This needs to be removed. Are you listening, Xavier?
All the furniture is to be removed.
Get rid of everything. An entrance must look professional.
Not that a second hand store.
No, no, no, in klädförrådet.
- the Furniture in the entrance hall...? - I did not look at them.
This makes me feel really bad. Take down all of it. It is a terrible thing.
- People will get a headache. - If we tone it down a bit?
So it looks like a disco?
May I say something about drakkvinnan. Anna has an external image.
Thank you for coming. Welcome to CNN.
A lot is true. But had she been a man-
-it would have been less of a focus on it.
You've got a reputation to be intimidating.
- Is it unfair? - I think that I am the decisive...
and want to get things done. To interpret it as threatening, so I regret.
There are so many stereotypes, and...
do you become bothered by it...
so it is a bit ineffective. They are out there.
I need to ask you a question about the "Devil wears Prada".
A former assistant wrote the book that then became a movie.
Do you feel it was a betrayal?
Stereotypes will always exist. It is how to deal with them.
She gave focus to the fashion. You can see it negatively, or positively.
I have chosen to see it as positive. I should rather be grateful.
I have seen her play herself. She meets everyone's expectations.
But it is a character, a suit of armor.
We have updated the graphic. We have flowers everywhere.
This is an idea... and this is the second.
It is a bit too much for carpet. We can probably...
Tone it down. There are a lot of flowers. What are the flowers in?
- Looks like wisteria. - Yes, it is. Wisteria and bamboo.
How about pale syrén...? It is more beautiful against the blue.
- As this color? - Yea, though paler.
We can take it then.
- Dendurtemplet. - I do not know.
You can't compete against the temple. It will look fake.
- There is nothing we can do... - It's like a kinakrog.
You just can't compete against that.
If it was pitch black, you would have a chance.
I would keep the bridge and the lilies.
And a little decor and chinese furniture. Okay, thank you.
Five months to the premiere.
We have not completed the design of the exhibition.
It is the end of december, so we are very late.
One of the big challenges is the short period we have to complete everything.
It is the largest kostymutställningen we made.
I want it will be easier and reflexive.
Here, it is also overloaded with sensory input.
It is difficult, not only for the scope and size of the exhibition.
There are also conceptual challenges and political obstacles.
They are taken all the time up of the Asian Department.
The key to success is that there is a link to the chinese art.
Otherwise, it just becomes wallpaper.
To take in western fashion in the chinese gallery-
- may be perceived as a misinterpretation of what chinese culture is all about.
Andrew hits the museum's managers to get an approval.
Here are the clothes inspired by imperial China.
Chinese objects in the fund, clothing in the middle.
The same structure consistently.
We have a colour scheme in each room, by a light source around the object.
We have blue, golden..., red.
The light sources color the rooms. Should it resemble a rainbow?
It shall not compete with the objects.
It would be great if it was a subtle light, otherwise disturbed eyes...
It should not look like an amusement park.
- We go on. - Now we go into the bambuskogen.
It gets a little surreal by using plexistavar.
The light reflected by the entire stake.
I hope that it works on six meters.
- Super. - What are you saying, Mike?
We must be careful that the clothes and bambuskogen-
-overshadows the sculptures.
My goal is to the chinese the objects to appear-
- and that they will not be diminished by the design.
It is clear that the objects will not be equally available.
There are many other things for people to view.
I like the idea, but want to recommend that you go cautiously.
I don't want to hear that we use the chinese art merely as props.
In the drawings I created these opportunities to see the works of art.
I think it is 700 rods.
- Need to have so many? - I think we may need 1000.
It takes a lot to fill a room. Your room is gigantic.
At first I thought it was required 3000.
It seems a lot, but it is not.
- Will the wipes be different colors? - Yes, the same color as the cushions.
I like the colors.
- How is it? - Hi.
We have so much to talk about. May I ask a question?
How chinese...?
- How the "chinoise" is the whole thing? - Let me show them the plan.
What do you think about this? When you go up the stairs.
- Dragons when people will? - "Hey, you are in China' type.
Dragons are a bit over-stated.
I think it is strong and it should be.
But I'm a little hesitant when it comes to the guests...
How much classically chinese do they expect?
When you enter the main hall, you see it here.
It is indescribably beautiful.
It connotes China, but the chinese symbols.
The twin dragons belongs to a different kind of exhibition.
By the way... water furrow in the end is wonderful, or how?
- it Is not based on something chinese? - There is "something" I'm worried about.
The complexity of the themes requires a gentle hand, so it is not misunderstood.
We work around a minefield.
How many items? Have you got anything you want to borrow from China?
We are waiting to hear.
It would be ideal to get a Mao suit from the cultural revolution.
It would be difficult politically.
Mao is an icon. It is limited how our chinese friends-
-tolerate in our depiction of Mao.
We need to be respectful.
It can pop anytime.
BEIJING, CHINA
The Met and Vogue travels to China to promote the exhibition.
The building with the flags is the national Museum.
On the other hand, with the flag, the People's great hall.
Here is the entrance to the Forbidden city. Where do you see Mao's portrait.
Jianfupalatset the Forbidden city.
Incredible.
On the screen next to me is a dress by Robert Cavalli-
-, whose colors and motifs pays tribute to the chinese porcelain.
Fashion is all about ideas. The way we live.
- You have really done well. - Our goal is to beat McQueen.
The exhibition will inevitably become controversial.
There will be differences of opinion.
I believe that the exhibits should be controversial and provocative.
Here I'm wondering to place Mao.
It is the only place I can think of.
We can have the sculpture of the suit here.
It is central and focuses on the idea of change...
- in China, and it is monumental. - To the famous buddhas away?
- No, they will be left. - Mao stand among the buddhas?
Intellectually speaking, it is logical considering the worship of Mao.
I think it will be surprising to have Mao there.
And it hangs together.
You are still a little hesitant around the buddhagalleriet.
- do you Think that Mao does not fit there? - It would be...
It would be offensive, too sensitive... not against the government.
Against the chinese and also against buddhism.
- I think... - Will it be controversial?
- Maybe not in the way you wish. - Maybe not in this context.
You can not have maosektionen at the entrance to the buddhagalleriet.
Actually a good idea.
There is much to see. It is a so extensive materials.
Do not exhibit too large.
Is it too much, you see nothing.
Interview with the chinese press.
We all look forward to the exhibition. But we have a lot of issues.
There seems to be many dragon symbols and green grass.
Why is it so? And I don't want to see yet another Mingvas.
I love the blue and white porcelain. I want to see it at the show.
Most will probably say that modern China-
-are not represented in your selection.
- You have the right. - It is not the exhibition's purpose.
We focus on the story.
You speak of the imagination, but it also allows for misconceptions.
Misinterpretation of reality.
How westerners and chinese interpreters Chinese culture
-will differ significantly.
Are you questioning the idea? We have not the imagination of the fashion changes, it is not.
We love the fantasy of fashion.
But imagination also has a tendency to reinforce misconceptions.
As a curator, you have surely considered it.
All fashion has something to tell you.
All the objects in the exhibition have a history.
What you see is how the designers pays tribute to chinese culture.
We also have with the chinese designers.
Guo Pei and Laurence.
Chinese designers are also drawn to the same symbols as the western.
It is not that the West acquisition of chinese symbols.
- Thank You. - Thank You.
She politicised it. The idea that the West plundered the East for inspiration-
- or that it is all about the story.
- She wanted that everything would start in 1949. - Yes.
China went through a unique period in the country's history.
During this period, destroyed many chinese, their own tradition.
But I feel that it is changing today.
I want to integrate the traditional chinese culture-
-with modern aesthetics.
Eastern and western cultures collide.
We want to find the wisdom of our ancestors left behind.
Now I use my knowledge to create something for the country.
As if I did a wedding dress to my country-
-with love in my heart.
How is it with the Guo Peis creations?
- Is it heavy? - Very heavy.
Beijing seems like a dream now.
I had a panic when I came back over how much work we have to do.
We are in such crisis when it comes to possible reactions in the world at the exhibition.
All chinese people over the past centuries-
- always looked backward. We forgot about progress, modernization.
The new chinese generation has had the benefit of modernisation.
They were afraid that the show only shows the past.
Many chinese are wondering why you only see drakmönstrade coats, fine clothing-
- not modern chinese stuff, modern movies, modern art.
How would you represent the modern China through the fashion?
The exhibition also poses the question as "what is modern chinese aesthetics"?
- There is no right now. - Not yet. It is on the way.
So to look back does not mean that it is nostalgic.
The only way to go forward is to not forget the past.
We confront the stereotypical oriental idea of China.
As Anna May Wong. But also talk about the interaction between China and the West.
We just got permission to start building.
So we have a supertajt time frame.
Stephen Jones the Exhibition huvudbonadsdesigner.
Incredible.
I think that the items we have selected is very captivating and seductive-
- and combined with the curatorial narrative-
-it may be out of the ordinary.
- Andrew. - Hey, Monty, how is it?
My biggest concern, Andrew, is honestly to ensure that people-
- does not find the intensity of the-
- and the type of... shall we say påläggandet-
-of the design-
- so powerful that it overshadows the intellectual or artistic content.
I believe that this reduces the focus on the intellectual content-
- and raises the level of what this is about-
- and creates a sense of hajp which is different from-
-what your and my goals are.
It is a bit frustrating, sometimes, there is not an overall understanding-
- show story or the complexity from a design perspective.
So it is... yes, a bit frustrating.
I try not to listen too much on the expectations of others on the tour-
- without trying to rely on my own judgement.
Many people have a superficial understanding of the fashion.
You underestimate the clothes ability to tell or to speak to the people.
There is an eternal debate about fashion ever can be art.
The sometimes has to do with intention-
- that when a designer creates something, they think that they are creating a work of art.
But most designers don't see it so.
I had never dreamt of my clothing would end up in a museum.
I think that fashion should represent what is happening in society-
- politically, economically. The clothes must be alive.
It's a bit boring when designers call themselves artists.
Especially when they believe that they belong in a gallery and not on a catwalk.
Go to a gallery. We do applied art. Chanel called himself not an artist.
She was klänningsmakare. Madam Vionnet was klänningsmakare, as well as the wife Lanvin.
They wanted to dress some in the community and was happy when the women bought the dresses.
Of course, not all the art of fashion, it is not.
Some are purely commercial.
But we Kostyminstitutet are still struggling-
- americans have a kind of puritan tradition.
And we hate the idea of commercialism may have a connection with something-
-it makes it less genuine.
But then the definitions of art have become more elastic-
-post-Dada, post-Warhol-
-, we are no longer bound by the 1800-century categories-
- of the arts vis-à-vis nyttokonsten.
We will never give up on the idea of something superior-
- can be expressed in the very everyday items you carry.
I classify Lagerfeld as an artist, even if he refutes it.
The application of his embroidery is an artistic expression.
When you discover someone like John Galliano and you have a true artistic genius.
This is strange, like meeting a child you have not seen in a long time.
Some of these stitches may not be carried out anymore for you will be blind.
It is difficult for me to tell if a inspiration is art or not.
We did some wonderful things.
There is something about the human impulse to communicate and express themselves.
An encyclopedic museum like The Met is trying to collect-
- these impulsernas strangest manifestations.
4 Weeks to the Opening
Keith, this is Sylvana, I want to talk about Rihanna's budget. Call me, goodbye.
So, Rihanna... We can't get rid of her?
She has a bigger entourage than what Kanye had?
She has a great team she is traveling with, so it is.
From the very beginning was the budget of ***hundred thousand.
I said that they would look over it before they sent it to me.
They returned with a budget of over ***a hundred thousand.
- She is expensive, point. - It, we knew, but not how expensive.
Talk with Anna and see if she can send a friendly note-
- thank them but at the same time say... "can you do something?"
I get rashes now.
Hello. I don't know what to say. Has no answer.
She is one of the world's greatest artists. It is double to any other we have had.
They do not want to go down anymore-
- they think they have done a lot. We need to ask from a higher level.
You know, from you.
Yes, it would be perfect.
We live for the culture, to feel that we are not alone, to learn about ourselves-
-to enjoy the beauty of the human journey.
Of course, there are the glamour, parties and gossip.
But if Rihanna needs to dance on a table to get attention, sure.
Then it goes Jennifer Lawrence up and talk, Gong Li speak-
- sen says Jennifer Lawrence: "ladies and gentlemen, Rihanna."
In the world we work, one needs a combination of art and commerce.
You need both. Too much of one or the other-
- would not work. They must go hand in hand.
If you can say something briefly about the two cultures.
I want to say at the end when I thank.
- You will be amazing. - Beautifully.
I look forward to it. I feel better now. It will be amazing.
With less than two weeks left has konstinstallationen not started.
- It is always so quiet here. - It is that nothing will hit.
Wow, there's a lot of work.
- We can not install without the lights. - the Lights are a week late.
- Why are they late? Are they not clear? - I do not know.
We are already eight days behind schedule with the delivery of these panels.
- We have counted and we're talking to 6.8 days. - the Middle of next week.
And it will of course not work.
We need to be realistic and know what we are doing. Time has run out for us.
- How much tidsöverlapp can we have? - Nothing at all.
- You have ten days. - It will be full speed to the opening.
7 Days to the Opening.
We underestimated the exhibition proportions.
It's like doing three shows at the same time.
Unfortunately, I see very organically in kuratering.
I change things along the way.
This time, we do all the crazy.
How do ljusplanen out for the exhibition?
We can start working with these two galleries tomorrow?
As soon as we can access something, we do it.
- Who says when it's time? - We go around all the time and look.
We say "we can do it", then we do it.
- We have fifteen galleries. - I know.
They need to place out the mannequins.
We need to talk to Andrew about.
Andrew, I need five minutes with you.
Soon you will have to give me the mannequins.
It runs great without the dress, but you need to talk about-
- the direction in which the doll is standing. Can you do it?
We got to know the schedule today.
Then we have two days on us to install the entire exhibition.
- Shall we rehearse for the Temple? - For the worst-case scenario, yes.
You have no rehearsal on Monday? - We do not have the time Monday, may be Sunday.
- the Temple Is open on Sunday? - You're kidding. It is impossible.
We need to repeat. He needs to be with Rihanna. We have the full up.
We need to close it.
It means that the public does not have access to the building's northern part.
They will be back next week. Otherwise you would have Raul be up three nights in a row.
It is inhuman. The public will back.
- Something else? - No, I think we covered everything.
3 Days to the Opening
Anna thought that we would not have more seats if he paid the difference.
It gives more money to the museum, but we want to keep the intimate feeling-
-for that is why people come here.
We appreciate it. But I don't know what we'll do, the places are not.
I can replace Baz against Marcus.
Where is Harvey? It will he not to like.
Can we have someone better here and move them there? Don't have to be Harvey.
I think Anne Hathaway will be here.
We are struggling to get it to work. We have three people without a place right now.
We can cordon off the middle and just have a small hole here?
The Met are not happy. They are worried if we do something between these pillars.
- this is The pillar, not art. - It is Tiffanypelare.
We're trying to work with you. You said that this was possible, now it is impossible.
- We moved tables. - You empty the Engelhard Court in the art.
It's not about that tonight. But to raise money for the museum.
36 Hours to the Opening.
- Nathan? Works the lights? - We know within two hours.
What happens if they don't make it?
Yes, it is better. And when you see these together...
incredible.
It will not clear the next hour.
- But you will be ready today? - Before we go home tonight.
- the Dress is beautiful. - It fits.
- It fits! - If we do not take the little...
- Yes, just what I was thinking, maybe... Here. I do it on both sides.
The color suits you superbly. Anna, what do you think of the bracelet?
Mother thinks only about the diamonds.
Now you have to go. Go out of the room.
Excellent. Sexy and elegant.
It is very beautiful.
A superb dress.
Anna goes above and beyond the legacy. She has a legacy.
She could disappear eskimåklädd to Alaska and still leave the legacy.
She is big in the business world.
But the whole idea of the gala at the Met-
- is not about the commercial. It is about the cultural.
I don't pretend to be modehistoriker-
time - but I think fashion deserves a recognition.
When you see how it touches and moves people.
What more can you ask of art?
Öppningsdagens Morning.
Oh my god. She is going to die. Has she seen it?
No, she has not been here yet.
- We did it! - I will cry.
- are they here at the top? - Incredible. The best thing ever.
- How many roses did you use? - 250000.
Good morning. "China Through the Looking Glass"-
- is nearly three times as large as our usual vårutställningar.
In total, over 150 garments and accessories-
-and over 40 designers.
So glad it is over.
- Means the tour? - There was no mirror.
- Extra kudos to Andrew, who survived. - It works so well in the galleries.
I really agree with.
- I love you. Was century, okay? - Great.
I did as the queen of England?
We meet in the afternoon. Calling at two o'clock.
- This is H and M. This is Veronica. - Vivian.
Here is Cartier. Best solution.
And the little well in the middle?
We move this a bit. It is a bad table, but...
- somebody must sit here. - But no celebrity?
Chloe Sevigny, Solange Knowles.
But they talk with each other.
- It is tight, but it is always. - this is well funny people?
- this will be good. - He's like, "What happened?"
What is this? Nylon?
- Pure silk. - "Made in China".
- George, now we take it here! - Way speed now.
Now the party begins!
What the hell is this?
Show up your legs now.
Come here, baby! Only you can wear such a dress.
The body coats. How do you do to keep it in shape?
You will get pictures of the dress?
Chloe Malle Kändisredaktör at Vogue.
I was afraid that people would do something offensive-
- but you have been creative and created beautiful things.
Some amazing headgear.
- do you Like Chinese food? - I'm doing it.
- didn't he? - I love Chinese food.
- What is your favorite dish? deep Fried chicken wings.
And the general Tsos chicken with shrimp and fried rice with chicken.
I know that you work for Vogue. But it is best you speak the truth.
Anne Hathaway, oh, so nice.
Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long are adorable together.
She is wearing custom made couture from Givenchy.
Cher, I want to be Cher. Help me, someone!!!!
Come here, baby, come to me.
Why did you make that happen? Can someone say to Sally that clooney's not stopped.
Clooney's not stopped. Tell that to Anna.
George said goodbye, but mrs. Clooney did not stay in his Gallianoklänning.
We got Justin Bieber, okay?
Filthy sexy! Darling, wow!
How does it feel to be one of the 100 most influential people in Time?
It is brilliant. It is so nice that you are supporting your stepfather.
- Of Course. - It is really nice and important.
We are here for the dresses, but in spite of everything...
Hello, Pat!
The exhibition is... this way.
Do you know how crazy I would look with something like that on your head?
You would be able to have anything on the head.
Anna May Wong. The first asian film star.
Where is her dress. Travis Branton.
- It's Dior, it's Johns. - I want to have it in my bedroom.
So fun to see you.
How's the business?
That's one of my dresses. It is white, it was a wedding dress.
It must be the old. Around 1925.
1924, and with the past.
1925 was the less, not with as much volume, but it was short.
- You are so smart. - I can modehistorien.
It where is Alexander McQueen. He worked a lot with wood.
There is also McQueen, boleron.
It can be McQueen, I'm not sure.
It's Alexander McQueen, for Givenchy.
A fine mix with all of the things from China, it is beautiful.
I love the inspiration from China.
Did you get my message?
How do you think it would look like on me?
Wow, this show... Your mood changes from room to room.
Porcelain! - Watch it!
- Galliano for Dior, I think. Or? - Guo Pei.
- So wonderful! - Oh My God. Oh, my god!
This room is a dream!
All the pale green with the black paint and see on the forms.
That when people say that you can't go in it. Who cares? So beautiful is it.
I love a girl from a modest background who becomes a big star.
It is the american dream, it is so you to do.
And just continue to do it! I want more trailers and more trailers!
I want to have drama! Five people to keep up the trailer!
It is a black madness!
This is the evening's queen!
The evening's queen. Steal the evening is not enough. So beautiful!!!
- Thank You. - at This moment! This fantasy!
It is made by the Guo Pei. It took two years.
And you wear it so beautifully. You inspire so many people.
Rest your voice! Great night! Want to see you on the stage.
It has pink lining. Got you with the pink lining?
I need to inject the Pinot Grigio in my arm.
- I have a whisky to you. Whiskey in the glass, so class.
I will be alone, like in high school.
You can sit with us if you want.
May I ask for your attention?
This evening's true star is Andrew Bolton.
- Hi, Andrew. What a success. - Thank You. It is so contemplative here.
- It is so quiet. - That they did it here.
Poor mrs. Vreeland. They killed her with the exhibition on the lower floor.
Asian art department has been incredibly generous to us.
Yes. Twenty years later.
Mode, Metgalan?
Isn't it amazing how fashion can unite two cultures?
I would like to applaud all of you here tonight. Anna Wintour, thank you for my invitation.
Is everyone ready to party?
Over 800,000 people visited China Through the Looking Glass.
It was the fifth most visited exhibition in Mets history.
In september 2015 appointed Andrew Bolton the new director of the Kostyminstitutet.
The Mets gala 2015 yielded a record high of 12.5 million dollars to the museum.
Are you both there? I will be at 06.45. Should I bring something?
- Starbucks. - Yes. A big box from Starbucks.
- All looked shockingly good in years. - Chloe Sevigny looked fantastic.
- Spike Lee! He looks amazing! - I know.
- You die when you see Rihanna's clothing. - I am so curious.
Boom! It is excellent! It is like a Disneyfilm.
Every single one of them. Yes, she should be on the cover.
- Check on her bodyguard. - He? He holds her handbag!
I would also keep the bag. I would keep her the whole evening.
David, do you see some similarity between me and Clooney?
- He went without the fly. - So do those kind of stallions.
I and George know what we are doing. This is great!
Now she is in a gothic room. Medieval gothic. Spiritually, the imperial.
- Will I be thrown out? - Go back to your room.
We take it here. A double-page spread.
- And then the last two. Peak.
- I think it looks very good. - I also.
I bet everyone's lunch here-
- when I add up the pomegranate she says "it was fine".
Okay. Martin, we do it.
- Pomegranate is perfect. - Martin love pomegranates.
I and AW have the same wavelength in our brains.
"Big stars like Derek Jeter." I said Jeter! He is the captain!
- I said he would be mentioned on the cover. - You have never kept up with each other more.
I told you that I and Anna have the same brain.
Cher, Derek Jeter, we have to sell it here.
This is not a niche publication. The names must.
They said they would film The Met, but this is about it here.
This is the entire documentary. It is finished. Finished.
