Harold Koda to receive honor from Pratt

The man who has been the genius behind the curation of the Met's Costume Institute for years is on his way out in January. Of course, for a man whose artistic direction has been so celebrated, he had to go out with a bang. The Pratt Institute has realized how celebrated Harold Koda should be before his retirement, and will be awarding him with a Lifetime Achievement award at the Pratt Institute Fashion + Cocktail Benefit on May 5 at Spring Studios .
