The Met Gala is an annual fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art鈥檚 Costume Institute in New York City. Each year it marks the opening of The Costume Institute鈥檚 spring exhibition and is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive social events in the world. This year鈥檚 theme is 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion', the second in the two-part exhibition.

The exhibition follows 'In America: A Lexicon of Fashion', which opened last year and remains on view with part two.

This year the focus is on American fashion and Andrew Bolton, The Costume Institute鈥檚 head curator, his team and curators from The Met鈥檚 American Wing are working with film directors to create different cinematic scenes, installed as still vignettes across 13 period rooms. Each room depicts a different period of history in the world of American fashion. The nine film directors involved include Sofia Coppola, Martin Scorsese and last year's Oscar winner Chlo茅 Zhao.

Reporter, Kizzy Cox, has behind-the-scenes access shadowing the team, as they create the exhibition, bringing Andrew Bolton鈥檚 vision to life. She also chats to film director Chlo茅 Zhao about how she goes about creating the Shaker Retiring Room vignette.
