Jordan Roth shares the creative inspiration and vision behind his striking MetGala look with Vogue.
, Roth continued this love of ornate craftsmanship. This time, Schiaparelli’s designer Daniel Roseberry transformed Roth into a human fan for the night. It was a special homage to the signature accessory that Lagerfeld often carried around with him. Below, in his own words, Roth shares the creative inspiration and vision behind the striking look.
The Met [Gala] is a canvas that offers us to create, play, and dream. I love the freedom of scale that it offers, and also the context of the theme that it offers. It’s always been this beacon of glamour, creativity, and epic fashion joy.! Then, we got specific. I have always loved and salivated over [Lagerfeld’s] designs, the prolificness of his career, and the ways in which he created so many different collections under so many different houses. Each one had their own unique personality.
It all started with a beautiful conversation between me and Daniel back in December. We shared thoughts and sketches back and forth. It's an extraordinary process of craft, consideration, and rigor. One of the things I love so much about couture is the creative patience that is inherent in the form. There’s no guessing; there’s theory, and then there’s experimentation.
Daniel was beautifully aware of what I had done at the Met previously, so he was very thoughtful about creating a piece that is furthering my own works and expression. My last three Met pieces have been very expansive in volume, so he envisioned something quite different for me. I loved the challenge of making a bold statement in a tighter volume.
We had a couple of specific ideas, but what called to me were Karl’s fans. [The fan is] a form that transforms, has function as well as decoration, and it has inherent movement. It calls to be to be animated and energized, as an extension of your own body. And, of course, it is singularly Karl Lagerfeld.
