Many major events have had to be canceled or postponed due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus in the United States. And is that the recommendation of the authorities is not to leave home or avoid being in groups of more than ten people. Both sporting and social events and even concerts have been canceled, and the fashion world is not far behind. Most of the designers who were scheduled to present their Crucero collections between April and May, have decided to cancel them. Another important event in the fashion world that will not take place at the moment is the Met Gala.

The gala, which takes place in New York every year on the first Monday in May and celebrates fashion to its fullest extent, was postponed indefinitely. This report comes days after the New York Metropolitan Museum, the venue of the event, reported that it would close its doors until further notice. Reason why the exhibition that precisely opens on the day of the gala and whose theme this year is, time and duration, has also been postponed.

"Due to the unavoidable and responsible decision of the Metropolitan Museum to close its doors, the gala will not take place on a scheduled day," wrote Anna Wintour, editor in chief of Vogue magazine and president of said gala, in a statement published in Vogue. com. "In the meantime we will give you a preview of the extraordinary exhibition in our May edition."

This is the third time that the incredible exhibition has been canceled or postponed and therefore the gala. The first time was in 1963 after the assassination of then President John F. Kennedy, and the second time was in 2002 after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
