The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced its latest fashion exhibition, which will be a follow-up to In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.

In America: An Anthology of Fashion will look at the genesis of American style, focusing on the 19th century to the latter part of the 20th century. Opening in May at the New York art museum, it will provide the theme and dress code for the Met Gala this year.
