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! 

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

  • [2:29] Sarah grew up with a love of clothes, costumes, and playing dress-up.
  • [7:47] Sarah's career path into textile preservation.
  • [12:10] How fashion items are acquired by museums, and what makes an archive collection unique.
  • [17:27] What it means when an object becomes "singularized."
  • [24:15] On Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' dress to the 2022 Met Gala.
  • [32:49] Why "absolute prohibitions" around interacting without artifacts is not the answer, either.
  • [37:36] The Met Gala's exhibition "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and dress code theme "The Garden of Time," and what to expect to see this year.
