The opening of the Spring exhibition at the MET Museum in New York is the gala event of the year...Is it? I thought it was the the Oscars?
Oh no, the Oscars are in Hollywood, this is New York City...
Each May The Gala opening exhibition hosts a number of diverse personalities, not just from the fashion industry, but from film, music, socialites and business people.
This gala has become one of the most successful fund-raising events in the history of fund-raising. It started in 1948 by Eleanor Lambert, and now it is run under the leadership of Trustee Anna Wintour (Editor-in-Chief of Vogue), who has been co-chair since 1995, excluding two years in 96 and 98.
This year the opening exhibition is called Punk: Chaos to Couture and it displays the close relationship between the fashion and the punk worlds. Anna Wintour is being assisted by actress Rooney Mara designer Ricardo Tisci, and Lauren Santo Domingo of Moda Operandi, who in part sponsors this exhibition.
There are 100 outfits on display. There are two distinctive fashionably punk colors, PINK and BLACK!
Take a look!
Remember it is open until August 14, 2013....the MET is closed on Mondays....and just a note: you don't need to dress like this to go!
