Today is the first Monday in May, which means – if you’re listening to this live – tonight is the Met Gala, and we’re talking all things archival fashion at the Met Gala with Sarah.
We discuss the famous Kim Kardashian incident – wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress to the Met Gala – what to make of the Sleeping Beauties exhibition theme this year, and fashion preservation. This is such a fascinating episode with a real subject matter expert, and I think you’re going to really enjoy it, so let’s dive right into it!
