The devil owns Amazon: big tech has infiltrated the fashion world – will we see a revolt?

Anna Wintour welcomed Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, honorary co-chairs, to the Met Gala despite widespread protests against their involvement and the event's perceived excess. This year's gala was particularly controversial due to the Bezoses' $10m patronage amid soaring inequality, Jeff Bezos's mushrooming wealth, and his unpopular decisions. While Amazon previously sponsored the gala in 2012, this year's event highlighted a significant discrepancy between the fashion industry's deference and public discontent, particularly among New York City's left-leaning fashion and arts community.
