The Met Gala 2024, one of the most anticipated events in the fashion calendar, continued its tradition of extravagance and high fashion. The Gala is a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Versace showcased a “The Garden of Time” theme, inspired by the 1962 short story of the same name by J.G. Ballard. The story explores the cycle of creation and destruction and features a central garden of flowers, symbolizing preservation, frailty, beauty, youth, and innocence.

Atelier Versace designs reflect this theme through an overall sense of freshness, with enduring codes of classic tailoring and inherently Versace designs executed beautifully, akin to nature’s work. The 2024 Met Gala was co-chaired by celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Zendaya, bringing a unique flavor to the event with their diverse backgrounds and styles.

The guest list included influencers from the entertainment, fashion, and business worlds, ensuring that the red carpet was a parade of some of the most glamorous and innovative outfits seen all year.
