Anna Wintour was seen attending a New York Fashion Week show by designer Thom Browne alongside Andrew Bolton, the Metropolitan Museum’s fashion curator, amid ongoing controversy over their decision to honor disgraced designer John Galliano at the Met Gala. The event faced backlash after it emerged that Galliano, who has a history of antisemitic comments, was slated to be celebrated despite previous efforts by Wintour and Bolton to secure support from influential Jewish leaders.

Story summary
Anna Wintour, the Condé Nast creative director, was spotted at Thom Browne's Spring/Summer 2027 fashion show during New York Fashion Week, seated next to Andrew Bolton, curator of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute. This came after controversy over their decision to honor John Galliano, a former designer for Dior and Givenchy, at the Met Gala. Galliano had faced backlash as an antisemite who once declared his love for Hitler, leading wealthy museum donors and Jewish leaders to demand that he be removed from the event. As a result, the gala's planned celebration of Galliano was canceled, leaving Wintour and Bolton to consider alternatives or potential replacements amid criticism from the museum’s trustees.

Anna Wintour sat next to the Metropolitan Museum’s fashion curator Andrew Bolton at a New York Fashion Week show yesterday — as the dust has yet to settle after the duo’s ill-fated Met Gala celebrating John Galliano that crashed and burned.

The New York Times had previously reported that Wintour, Galliano and Bolton had met over the course of a year with “influential rabbis and Jewish leaders” in New York City “to get their thoughts on the potential issues with next year’s planned fashion extravaganza — a show dedicated to Galliano’s work — and perhaps their blessing for it.”

Wintour → report → it
Bolton also told the Times in July that he “had been considering a Galliano show since 2010, though he had not gotten serious about it until 2024,” and he outlined some of the plans that were being made to address what he referred to as “the rupture,” referencing Galliano’s shocking behavior.

Either way, Wintour and Bolton will presumably be spending more time together away from NYFW as they come up with a backup plan now that Galliano is gone, unless the gala gets canceled.
