From body art to nail art to beauty product packaging, minimalism is the millennial go-to Instagram aesthetic. With warmer weather just around the corner, there’s no better time to de-clutter, simplify, and take the trend one step further.

Since it’s opening on May 4, the exhibit brought in an astounding 650,000+ visitors, making it the eighth biggest show in the Met’s 141-year history and their most successful costume specific exhibit ever. In the last few weeks it was open, crazed crowds attempting to get a last peek made headlines. Fights broke out in the sometimes three-hour lineup.

If you missed the exhibit and have a major case of regret, the museum at FIT in New York will be showcasing some of McQueen’s pieces at their Daphne Guinness exhibit opening September 16. And if New York is too far of a trek, you can always pick up the Met’s book on the exhibition. But you better hurry—they’ve already sold more than 100,000 copies, and we wouldn’t want to stand in that line at the bookstore.

Jean Paul Gaultier is designing a line for the haute, modern furniture company Roche Bobois, whose Missoni-covered modular sofas we have long coveted. The line hasn’t been released yet, but we hope it won’t look like the creepy bedspread above, which Gaultier designed for a show in Paris.  [WWD, sub req]
