For the Soviet regime he became a symbol of racial oppression under capitalism and of communism's promise of racial equality. Yet within a short time after his arrival in Russia, he achieved unintended fame, becoming one of the best-known Americans residing in Russia, a cause celebre for the Soviets and an object of both condemnation and admiration in the United States. A Jamaican-born immigrant, Robinson was a reserved and unassuming man with little interest in politics. There are no winners of the Met Gala, but if there were, these men are ours.ROBERT NATHANIEL ROBINSON was a twenty-three-year-old toolmaker in Detroit when he decided, like many thousands of Americans and Europeans in the early 1930s, to take a job in the booming industries of the Soviet Union. They look fantastic in something other than a regular old tux. So our best dressed men of the evening aren't playing it safe in true Lagerfeld-esque fashion, these guys are taking things to extreme levels of classiness, elegance, and, most importantly, Karlness.
But only if they look exceptional-tailoring to a tee, you know?) This is, after all, the Met Gala-if there was ever a time for the stars to step out of their comfort zones, it's tonight. (I mean, okay, we might give a nod to a few guys in great tuxes or suits.
That won't cut it, this year! We're looking at those who take the Karl Lagerfeld theme to the highest levels we want to see the men of the Met Gala digging into Lagerfeld's archives, pulling out the boldest, classiest, and all around best looks that pay tribute to the designer. The best dressed men of the evening are not going to be those in a simple tux or suit. The dress code for tonight is a wide-open, simple, "in honor of Karl." And with a legacy as expansive and prolific as his, we expect a lot of major fashion moments from the Met Gala's red carpet tonight-prepare for tweed and tailoring, folks. No campiness, unless it's channeling Karl.
"Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" calls for a dress code paying tribute to the late designer-no decade restrictions this year, nor a white tie or black tie guideline. Tonight's Met Gala theme is in remembrance and celebration of Karl Lagerfeld, the iconic fashion designer who made his mark in fashion houses including Chanel, Fendi, Balmain, Chloé, and more. Up and down Fifth Avenue, Uber Blacks are causing traffic jams, pedestrians are flocking towards Central Park, and the Internet is gearing up for the Met Gala. We've had huge red carpet moments in film and television this year, but tonight? Well, tonight is the biggest night in fashion.
