Met Gala will pose question: can Vogue keep diversity in fashion in Trump’s America?

Event where fashion and politics meet puts editor Anna Wintour, a vocal Democrat supporter, in the spotlight

On Monday night, the party of the year will ask the question: can Vogue keep diversity in fashion in Trump's America?

The Met Gala, the knotty point where fashion meets politics, will be in the spotlight. The annual event has become a pop cultural phenomenon by reinventing party dressing as a world of internet-breaking daredevil stunts. Kim Kardashian wearing the dress in which Marilyn Monroe serenaded John F Kennedy, Lady Gaga changing outfits four times in front of the cameras and Katy Perry dressed as a cheeseburger serve the thrills for the social media generation that a James Bond car chase did for their parents.
