History

Historical Context

The Met’s Costume Institute held its first gala under Anna Wintour’s chairmanship in 1995, aligning with the “Orientalism: Visions of the East in Western Dress” exhibition. The event began a tradition of high-profile fundraisers that later led to the Anna Wintour Costume Center, opened by Michelle Obama in 2014 and funded by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch.
