In February, the Met revealed Ballard’s 1962 short story “The Garden of Time” as the forthcoming red carpet theme.

David Cronenberg's adaptation of JG Ballard's "Crash" debuted at Cannes Film Festival in 1996.
In 2021, American designer Thom Browne’s Spring-Summer catwalk at New York Fashion Week also imagined life behind Count Axel’s garden wall.
And now with the Met Gala theme, the beautiful flower that dies as soon as it’s plucked, it connects back to fashion being ephemeral.
