Ahh, the most exciting and thrilling time of year has arrived, The Met Gala of 2016. This years theme is “Manus x Machina” Fashion in an Age of Technology. I cannot wait to see all the beautiful dresses.  One of my favorite designers is Oscar de La Renta. His designs always stand out from the rest. You know it’s an Oscar. You just do. Another favorite of mine is Calvin Klein. He recently said in an article that, these days it’s about how many followers you have and not about the brand, the vision. He wants his models to represent his brand, not because of all the followers they have on social media. I happen to agree with him. How about you? Do you agree as well?

I wonder who Anna Wintour will be wearing. If Kim Kardashian will get an invitation again? Of course she will. She’s Kanye’s wife. What will be the color of the night? Will sheer gowns be the trend?

I cannot wait. It’ll be just lovely.

2015 MET GALA…THE OSCARS OF FASHION.

TONIGHT is the biggest Fashion event of the year!

The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the MetBall, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit.

This year’s theme is  “China: Through the Looking Glass” .  Western eyes have drawn inspiration from “exotic” Asian images since the seventeenth century.”

I’m very excited to see all the dresses that the celebrities are wearing.  Oscar de la Renta, Balenciaga, Ralph Lauren, Zac Posen, Ines di Santo. The list goes on and on. The one thing we won’t be seeing this year is the selfie. Yes, no selfies are to be taken. All cell phones and social media are to be left at the door. The Metropolitan Museum of Art sent out a notice to guests stating that neither picture-taking nor social media will be permitted inside the annual event. As we know, Anna Wintour isn’t the hugest fan of the selfie. With the gala under her reign, this could be her way of wielding power against the social media trend she refuses to follow.

Tonight is going to be just lovely.

Love,
