Andrew Rossi’s fashion-filled documentary is taking audiences into fashion’s most exclusive party. Last night marked the opening of the Tribeca Film Festival and, with that, the premier of “The First Monday in May“<\/em><\/p>\n The documentary, directed by Andrew Rossi, focuses on the orchestration of the 2015 Metropolitan Museum\u2019s annual Costume Institute Ball and pays full attention to the curator of the exhibit, Andrew Bolton, and his partner through the planning, Anna Wintour, the infamous editor-in-chief at American Vogue<\/em>.<\/p>\n Vogue<\/em> editors, models and fashion royalty alike hit up the red carpet at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center last night to witness the events leading up to the Super Bowl of fashion.<\/p>\n Both Bolton and Rossi sat down with fashion industry rag Women\u2019s Wear Daily<\/em> to talk about the film and the process to which they filmed.<\/p>\n The two told WWD<\/em> that shooting began in fall 2014 and that Rossi \u201c\u2026thought it was a fascinating opportunity to revisit what we qualify as art, why we have museums, and how they are changing, through the work of Andrew Bolton.\u201d<\/p>\n Bolton, the curator for the costume institute at the Met told the publication that, \u201cfashion is highly performative, as is film, and there\u2019s a strong connection between the idea of creating identity.\u201d<\/p>\n I have only seen the trailer, but from the looks of it, Rossi did and his team did an impeccable job of taking the audience on this journey of how this spectacle of a night is planned, as well as what happens when the lucky guests enter fashion\u2019s most exclusive party. As The Guardian<\/em> said it best, \u201cRossi pulls out all the stops to offer what amounts to ultimate VIP access.\u201d<\/p>\n The Met is the epitome of all museums, and these costume exhibitions get better and better each year, I am really looking forward to getting a peak into a night that has fascinated me since I could fathom what the Met Gala was. The film is out in theaters tomorrow and there\u2019s only a few more weeks left until Vogue<\/em> and Bolton do it all again.<\/p>\n
