To celebrate its 150th anniversary, The Metropolitan Museum of New York collaborated with a handful of fashion, beauty, and home brands – from Allbirds to Catbird to The Sill – to create limited-edition products that blend the 21st century aesthetic with The Met’s impressive art collection.
The Met 150 Edit ranges from style to tech to collectibles. The Allbirds Van Gogh edition shoes mimic the artist’s stippled olive groves impasto, and Catbird’s Souvenir Charm memorializes the iconic metal buttons that served as its admissions tickets before they were retired in 2013.
