Seven words from Karl Lagerfeld adorn a doorway at the Metropolitan Museum of Art´s sumptuous new exhibit honoring the late, legendary designer: 'Fashion does not belong in a museum.' What the exhibit does not do, purposely, is focus on Lagerfeld´s words - despite that quote on the doorway. What was more interesting to Bolton, he says, was to focus on the work, and that was daunting enough. 'He was Karl,' the curator said, noting that Lagerfeld himself referred to not always meaning what he said. Bolton´s shows, which have brought many thousands of visitors to the museum, have mostly centered on concepts and not individuals.
