World8 sources3 countries29m ago
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has canceled its planned May 2026 Met Gala exhibit centered on fashion designer John Galliano. The decision was announced Monday in a joint statement issued by the museum and the designer.
The cancellation follows widespread controversy and growing concern over Galliano's past remarks. The backlash was sparked by the designer's history of racist comments and a prior antisemitic rant.
Galliano had previously been at the pinnacle of the fashion world for years prior to the incidents. The planned showcase ultimately failed to move forward amid the public pressure surrounding his past behavior.
