It has already been a week since one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year took place: the Met Gala marked its return after two years of absence with the 2021 edition under the theme “In America: a lexicon of Fashion”. A vast theme, which left the field to each guest to deliver his interpretation of the American clothing style.
While some have decided to pay homage to American icons or highlight symbols of the United States, others have chosen the creativity of fashion to deliver strong messages.
Focus on these fashionable and committed moments!
BILLIE EILLISH, SIGNED OSCAR DE LA RENTA
Billie Eillish undoubtedly represents this committed and benevolent generation who want to use their voice and their image to make things happen. Behind this sublime dress, the 19-year-old singer, vegan and committed to the defense of animals, demanded that the fashion house no longer produce animal fur clothing. A successful bet because the brand has accepted!
ALEXANDRA OCASIO CORTEZ, A STRONG AND CLEAR MESSAGE
The American politician didn't hesitate to deliver her message for social justice with style and glamor in a dress made by Aurora James , creator of the brand Brother Veilles which evolves in sustainable fashion .
LIL NAS X: FASHION OR THE EXPRESSION OF A PERSONALITY
With his 3 outfits signed by the Versace house, the 22-year-old rapper reveals more of his personality by removing his huge golden cape. The second outfit, an armor, delivers a real message and symbolizes "the protection against prejudice faced by a black, gay person," says Versace . Finally, under this armor, Lil Nas X “represents life as it is, without makeup”.
CARA DELAVINGNE, THE ART OF PROTEST
Model and committed personality, Cara Delevingne has chosen no other house than Dior signed Maria Grazia Chiuri to convey her message: “Peg the patriachy”. An obvious choice, because the DA of Dior since 2017 is known for her feminist commitment and is also famous for expressing her ideas during fashion shows.
This gala reminds us that fashion, like any other form of art, is a means of expressing strong ideas that goes beyond the limits of beauty and that can undoubtedly guide us towards a better world!
