Met Gala: Charles Frederick Worth circa 1889
GlossaryLive celebrates the 2024 Met Gala ball’s display of iconic fashion throughout history. The House of Worth’s evening cape created from the dramatic fabric “Tulipes Hollandaises” inspired Aigul Fritzke to hand paint a similar design, replicating the floral celebration and allure of this garment. This stunning fabric was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1889 in Paris where it won a grand prize.
