“I want there to be a criticality to my look; I want there to be intention; I want it to be good; I don’t want it to feel at all not myself,” says the model on her MetGala look.
2022, Paloma Elsesser had a bit of a wobble. Not because she had any doubts about her Coach look , but because of the pressure surrounding the event. “You really want to show up as your best self,” the American model tells. “I think, for me, as a person whose centre of conversation is their body – and oftentimes I’m not one of many in these situations – I really want to deliver for my community that I care about so much.
“Delivering” for Elsesser involves many moving parts. “I want there to be a criticality to my look; I want there to be intention; I want it to be good; I don’t want it to feel at all not myself,” says the straight-talking woman at the top of her game. “It is literally the world’s stage.” On the flip side, the exposure is also what she loves about the annual fashion fundraiser. “Whether it’s a person’s first Met or their 15th Met, it’s this profound equalizer,” explains Elsesser.
Of course, the end look is less Hole , and more haute. “It juxtaposes a silk satin corset with the softness of antique lingerie silk and hand-embroidered lace,” explains Stuart, who repurposed dresses from the ’30s for this moment. “I liked the idea of mixing separates that reference distinct eras in American fashion – from the Victorian age to the ’30s and ’90s – to show how the next generation is creatively imagining the future of fashion through a personal point of view.
