This year the Met Gala will return back to the first Monday in May on May 2 2022. The theme for this year, In America: An Anthology of Fashion, will be the secondary portion of the exhibition from last year’s theme.
The exhibition will feature men & women’s fashion from the 18th century until now.
As we look forward to the upcoming event, here are some exclusive photos from the past Met Gala events that we helped with alterations.
We had the opportunity to work on this insanely beautiful look designed by Rick Owens for the singer, Rosalia, for the 2021 Met Gala. The garment was constructed entirely from leather and featured thin fringes cascading from the end of the shawl.
Actress, Rachel Zegler, wore a Christian Dior gown for the 2021 Met Gala. The gown featured silk lam’e fabric with elegant drapery and a stunning print along the skirt. Alterations by Luxtailor.
We had the pleasure of working on this stunning feather gown designed by Alberta Ferreti worn by Janet Mock for the 2019 Met Gala Event, Camp: Notes on Fashion. This gown was even more incredible in person. Our tailors were in awe of how impeccable the beadwork was. From the feathers to the metallic payettes, Janet looked absolutely divine.
We also worked on this a metal payette jacket designed by Alberta Ferretti for the 2019 Met Gala After Party. The jacket looked multi-dimensional since there were multiple panels of different sequin shapes in the design.
For the 2019 Event, we worked on the tuexedo for Jeremy Scott.
The look featured a black tuxedo with an encrusted harness and belt by Moschino.
Maluma wore a bejeweled white tuxedo jacket designed by Moschino on the Pink Carpet for the 2019 Met Gala.
We had the pleasure to work on this purple gown designed by Alberta Ferretti for Princess Beatrice of York. With the bejeweled straps and ruching along the sleeves and front, this gown was truly enigmatic in person.
We altered this Moschino encrusted gown for Stella Maxwell for the 2018 Met Gala Event: Heavenly Bodies. The encrusted beaded gown featured religious icons motifs and mutliple leather belts.
We altered this Moschino bejeweled jacket for Jeremey Scott for the 2018 Met Gala. The intricate and heavy beading definitely makes this look a show stopper.
Coco Rocha wore a leopard gown designed by Emmanuel Ungaro for the 2013 Met Gala Event, Punk: Chaos to Couture.
Allison Williams wears a red Giambattista Valli gown for the 2015 Met Event, China: Through the Looking Glass.

If you are unsure of how to be prepared when visiting a tailor, it is important to remember these helpful tips.
When adjusting your wardrobe, consider the following to ensure a proper fit for your garment…
When wearing a dress, make sure the bust & shoulders fit as close as possible.
The hip area should fit accordingly to your size or bigger: It’s better to take in fabric on sides than to let out, but we can do both.
If you have a dress that’s too long, we can easily shorten it. However if you are looking to extend a dress, our seamstress can adjust a hem with fabric or trim in order to lengthen.
Always wear shoes that you’re planning to wear with the garment, especially with a floor length gown.
When wearing a jacket, consider the following notes for a proper fit.
The chest area & shoulders should fit close to perfect.
We can alter the rest. From taking in the center back seam or shortening or lengthening sleeves, we can transform your jacket and make it look custom made.
Pants should fit well in the hips, waist & length can be easily adjusted.
For shortening hems on jeans, we can offer original hem to re-attach the washout look at the bottom.
Pants can also be lengthened if there is enough seam allowance inside. Our tailors can work with a variety of pants from sequin trousers to silk culottes.
When wearing a top, make sure the front & armhole are a good fit.
Our tailors can release or take in side seams accordingly to your size.
We can also shorten the hem or sleeves of your favorite blouses to be worn with your favorite skirt or trousers.
When buying clothes at store, it is helpful to try clothes on with the undergarments & shoes that you plan to wear with outfit.
Wear a shirt if trying on jackets.
Buy one size up if your size is not available. We can adjust the item to your size afterwards.
Our tailors would recommend to buy from brands you already know when it comes to sizes.
Review size chart for each garment.
Know your measurements.
Pick from two sizes: If your size is not available, Buy one size up.
Check the Return Policy.
