2027年的纽约大都会艺术博物馆慈善舞会(Met Gala)已经引发争议。
本次活动将邀请以戏剧化、夸张设计风格闻名的约翰·加利亚诺。但加利亚诺的职业生涯也背负着反犹太主义和种族主义言论的污点,这些言论导致他在2011年被克里斯汀·迪奥(Christian Dior)解雇,并在法国被判处仇恨犯罪罪名。他并未被监禁。
加利亚诺已公开道歉,称当时自己处于酒精和处方药的影响之下。
“时尚行业总是维护自己人,而他就是其中之一,”哥伦比亚广播公司时尚撰稿人、《帕克》(Puck)时尚记者劳伦·谢尔曼在周一的《CBS晨间新闻》节目中表示,“时尚界早在很久以前就已经原谅他了。”
谢尔曼解释称,大约10年前,时任《Vogue》主编的安娜·温图尔“为帮加利亚诺在时尚行业重获机会付出了巨大努力”,“她为他在马丁·马吉拉(Maison Margiela)找到了一份工作”。
2024年的纪录片《高潮与低谷——约翰·加利亚诺》梳理了加利亚诺的崛起、陨落与复出历程。
加利亚诺对时尚界的影响
加利亚诺曾担任克里斯汀·迪奥的设计师约15年。
“他在某种程度上是时尚行业变革转型不可或缺的人物,同时他也是最后一批坚持做创新时装的设计师之一,”谢尔曼说道,“上世纪90年代算是我们见证新鲜设计的最后一段时期。”
她表示,加利亚诺和已故英国设计师亚历山大·麦昆——后者曾是往届大都会慈善舞会的主题人物——是最后两位彻底改变我们穿搭方式的顶级设计师。
明年的展览主题为“约翰·加利亚诺:视界”,这将是大都会艺术博物馆服装学院第三次为在世设计师举办个人专题展。该展览将同时探讨加利亚诺的创作成就与争议过往。
“约翰·加利亚诺的磨难以及他所经历的一切都必须成为本次展览的一部分,因为从某些方面来说,这也是他作品集的一部分,”谢尔曼说道。
但她指出,在慈善舞会当晚,这些争议可能不会成为焦点。
“我能想象到当晚没人真的谈论这些事情。也许会有最终受邀出席舞会的犹太领袖就此发声,我们拭目以待,”她说道。
据《纽约时报》报道,今年5月,加利亚诺与温图尔在纽约会见了多位有影响力的拉比和犹太领袖,讨论本次展览和舞会事宜。
大都会艺术博物馆在一份声明中部分表示,本次展览将“直接回应他(加利亚诺)在2010年和2011年的反犹太主义、种族主义和反亚裔行为所引发的风波,这些行为导致他被克里斯汀·迪奥及其同名品牌解雇,并被巴黎法院判处基于种族、宗教、族裔或出身的公开侮辱罪名。”
“展览还将探讨他随后接受的成瘾治疗,以及他后来对自身行为的公开致歉。本次展览不会呈现一场常规的耻辱与救赎叙事,展馆将审视记忆、经历、文化价值观和历史环境如何持续重塑人们对设计师作品的评价。”

2027 Met Gala to feature designer John Galliano and his controversial legacy

By Kelsie Hoffman
The 2027 Met Gala is already causing controversy.
The event will feature John Galliano, who is known for his theatrical and dramatic designs. But Galliano’s legacy is also marked by antisemitic and racist comments, which led to his dismissal from Christian Dior in 2011 and a hate crime conviction in France. He was not given prison time.
Galliano has publicly apologized. He has said he was under the influence of alcohol and prescription drugs at the time.
“The fashion industry — they keep their own, and he is one of their own,” Lauren Sherman, a CBS News fashion contributor and Puck fashion correspondent, said on “CBS Mornings” Monday. “There was forgiveness a long time ago in fashion.”
About 10 years ago, Anna Wintour, then-editor-in-chief of Vogue, “really worked hard to give Galliano a second chance in the fashion industry,” Sherman explained. “She got him a job at Maison Margiela.”
A documentary in 2024, “High & Low – John Galliano,” outlined Galliano’s rise, fall and rehabilitation.
Galliano’s impact on fashion
Galliano was the designer of Christian Dior for about 15 years.
“He sort of was integral to the change and the transformation of the fashion industry, and he was also one of the final designers to sort of do innovative fashion,” Sherman said. “The ’90s was sort of the last time we saw anything new.”
Galliano and Alexander McQueen, the late British designer who was the subject of a previous Met Gala, were the last two big designers to change the way we dress, she said.
The exhibit next year, titled “John Galliano: Horizons,” will be only the third time a living designer is the subject of a solo show at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is set to explore both Galliano’s creative accomplishments and controversies.
“John Galliano’s tribulations and everything that he has gone through has to be a part of this exhibit because that is a part of his body of work in some ways,” Sherman said.
But his controversies may not be the focus the night of the gala, she said.
“I can imagine a world where that night, no one really talks about any of this stuff. Maybe there will be — it will be addressed in some ways by Jewish leaders who maybe end up attending the gala. We’ll see,” she said.
Galliano and Wintour met with influential rabbis and Jewish leaders in New York City in May about the exhibit and gala, The New York Times reported.
In a statement, The Metropolitan Museum of Art said in part that the exhibit will “directly address the rupture caused by his (Galliano’s) antisemitic, racist, and anti-Asian conduct in 2010 and 2011, which resulted in his dismissal from Christian Dior and his eponymous label and his conviction by a Paris court for public insults based on race, religion, ethnicity, or origin.
“It will also consider his subsequent treatment for substance addiction and his later public acknowledgment of his actions. Rather than presenting a conventional narrative of disgrace and redemption, the gallery will examine how memory, experience, cultural values, and historical circumstances continually reshape the reception of a designer’s work.”
