NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Celebrities depart 'The Mark Hotel' to attend the Met Gala.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced that the theme for 2023 will be celebrating the work of late German designer, Karl Lagerfeld.
This theme will also celebrate the debut of the Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty exhibition at the museum.
In a press release, Max Hollein, Marina Kellen French director of the Met said: "Karl Lagerfeld was one of the most captivating, prolific, and recognizable forces in fashion and culture, known as much for his extraordinary designs and tireless creative output as for his legendary persona."
Normally, the Met Gala shies away from honoring a specific individual for the event as their last time doing so was in 2017 when they honored Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo.
