The Met Gala, the world's largest fashion event, is held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (commonly known as The Met), one of the world's three largest art museums and boasting the highest number of visitors in the world. Hosted by Anna Wintour, aka "The Devil Wears Prada," the event is a beauty extravaganza for select celebrities, with seats costing $25,000 (approximately 2.85 million yen) per person and selling out instantly. The documentary film "The Met Gala: A Museum of Dresses," the first to feature cameras inside this extravagant fashion event, is now available on DVD. It was shot over eight months and features a completely intimate look at the event.


This film explores the glamorous front stage of the Met Gala, a one-night event often referred to as the Oscars of the fashion world, as well as rare behind-the-scenes footage leading up to the event and the creation of the exhibition "Through the Looking Glass," which debuted alongside the Met Gala. From the celebrity gatherings brought together through Anna Wintour's network, to the behind-the-scenes efforts of the film's director, Wong Kar-wai, and the production process, which pursues beauty down to the smallest detail, this must-see video is sure to excite fashion lovers and film buffs alike.


The Met Gala, the world's largest fashion event, is held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (commonly known as the Met). It is hosted by Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of US Vogue and a board member of the Met. The event, organized by her, aims to raise funds for the fashion department (since Anna became a board member, the total amount of funds raised has exceeded $120 million). To prepare for the event, Anna teams up with Andrew Bolton, the Met's curator. Bolton has earned rave reviews for his provocative exhibitions that break away from traditional fashion exhibitions, earning her a special place in Anna's heart. The two then propose a plan for the 2015 exhibition "China Through the Looking Glass" to the Asian Art Department, but various problems arise... This is a blissful documentary that closely follows the production process, staff, and all-star cast of the exhibition that drew the largest number of visitors in history.
