Zendaya is also no stranger to making her mark on the Met steps. The 27-year-old actress made her debut at the 2015 Met Gala, wearing a custom Fausto Puglisi sun dress inspired by that year’s theme, China: Through the Looking Glass.

The walk will also include everything from a 17th-century Elizabethan-era English bodice to 21st-century pieces by modern fashion industry tastemakers including Phillip Lim, Stella McCartney and Connor Ives. In addition, it will showcase designs from legendary names in fashion, including Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior and Hubert de Givenchy.

Many works will be exhibited alongside contemporary tailoring, divided into a central exhibition and three additional zones – land, sea and sky – which, according to Andrew Bolton, the curator in charge, “is very much an ode to nature and an emotional poetics of fashion.”

Everything will be brought to life using technology, from video animation, light projection and artificial intelligence. Nick Knight, founder of SHOWstudio, will serve as creative consultant on the visual presentation, while Sissel Tolaas, who has worked with Balenciaga, will develop fragrances for the installations.

“This innovative show will push the boundaries of our imaginations and invite us to experience the many facets of the work, to learn more about its history and, ultimately, to gain a deeper understanding of its beauty,” Max Hollein, CEO of the Met, noted Vogue.
