The masses have spoken and the Met has listened. ➡️

After facing intense criticism from fashion lovers worldwide over plans for a John Galliano-focused exhibition as the 2027 Met Gala theme, the Met has announced it will not proceed with the concept.

Earlier this morning, Vanessa Friedman, New York Times and INYT fashion director/critic, took to X to share that John Galliano “has decided to bow out after a growing public backlash.”

Since then, the Met Museum released a press release confirming the cancellation of ‘John Galliano: Horizons’ and that “information on the new spring Costume Institute exhibition and the 2027 Met Gala will be announced at a later date.”

A statement from John Galliano was published in the press release stating:

“After much reflection and discussion with The Met and all those involved, I have decided, with great sadness, that it is best for the exhibition not to take place at this time. I remain fully accountable for the pain caused by my words in the past, particularly the hurt I caused to the Jewish and Asian communities, and I remain deeply sorry for it. I understand that meaningful atonement is not achieved through an exhibition, institutional recognition or a single public gesture. It is a continuing responsibility, demonstrated through listening, learning and one’s conduct over time.”

Met trustee, Anna Wintour, also made a statement within the press release:

“John’s decision that the exhibition devoted to his work should not take place at this time is very courageous and a measure of the man he is. I believe this is the right decision, and both he and the Museum have my full support.”
