A planned exhibit honoring British designer John Galliano has been canceled due to backlash over his past antisemitic and racist statements. The exhibit was set to launch the annual Met Gala as the spring 2027 Costume Institute show.

The decision was made after discussions between Galliano and the museum. The museum's director and CEO announced that they have decided not to proceed with the exhibition, and Galliano expressed sadness over the decision.

Further details about the cancellation and plans for a replacement show are available from the source. The museum will announce a new show later to take the place of the canceled exhibit.
