The Costume Institute at New York’s The Metropolitan Museum of Art sure does its homework. When it came to putting together an exhibition on fashion and the body, curator Andrew Bolton didn’t miss the fact that some of the most cutting-edge research on the topic was being done in Tasmania by Dr Llewellyn Negrin. Costume Art opened alongside the 2026 Met Gala, which helps to fund the Costume Institute and this year was co-chaired by Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour. Congratulations, Dr Llewellyn Negrin!
