Dan Levy Goes to His First Met, Makes a Statement For the LGBTQ+ Community That Speaks Volumes

13/09/2021 - 11:53 PM

Before even hitting the red carpet at the 2021 Met Gala, Schitt's Creek [1] creator and star Dan Levy [2] made sure his fans knew the meaning behind his look, which honours American fashion. Levy tapped Loewe designer Jonathan Anderson to collaborate on a blue embellished and beaded outfit that pays homage to multimedia artist David Wojnarowicz's piece that features two men kissing [3], which is named after a homophobic cartoon he found. By wearing this clothing version of it — in a vibrant look that will certainly stay on our minds all night long — Levy celebrates the hope and joy of the queer community. Wojnarowicz died in 1992 from an AIDS-related illness, and to mark the moment, Loewe made a donation to Visual AIDS [4], an organisation the activist supported that continues to promote AIDS awareness. Scroll to see Dan's meaningful post about his first-ever Met Gala creation, accessorised with Cartier jewels, then see all angles of his appearance on the carpet.
