French Vogue’s Laird Borrelli-Persson takes an in-depth look at Jordan’s 2021 “head-turning” Met Gala coat, created by Michael Sylvan Robinson.
Jordan Roth brought art to life on the Met gala’s red carpet in a custom coat of many colors by Michael Sylvan Robinson, a textile artist and queer activist. The theater producer describes this specially commissioned piece, a sort of mobile canvas, as a “visual manifestation” of his thinking on the expansive possibilities of identity; ruminations that were spurred by the theme of “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”
