The carpet at this year’s Met Gala fashion extravaganza in New York, with swirls of red and blue, was woven by artisans from the south Indian state of Kerala.
Kerala-based Neytt by Extraweave were tasked to bring the vision of Japanese architect Tadao Ando into reality.
It took about 60 days for the artisans at the firm, headed by Sivan Santhosh and Nimisha Srinivas, to make the entire carpet.
The carpet, which was made using sisal fibers, was painted by designers in the United States.
The firm took their Instagram handle to share stories from the Met Gala, which included several photos of celebrities posing on the carpet designed by them.
This year’s event saw some of the leading celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Doja Cat (who also made her debut at the fundraiser event), Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Taylor Swift, among others.
The Met Gala 2023 was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday with a galaxy of stars from around the world assembling for the fund-raiser event.
The event also saw the presence of Indian celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Alia Bhatt.
The theme for the Met Gala 2023 was dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld, the late designer who was also the creative director of Chanel.
