@jacquemus I brought my grandmother to the Met Gala tonight. 🥹💭 I wanted us to feel like a white canvas, pure and light, like a plaster sculpture by Alberto Giacometti, in white organza. She is 80 years old this year, and it’s her very first time leaving Europe, her very first long flight… What a night. Merci @metmuseum 🤍 And dear Anna Wintour. Family is where my art begins.
