MY FAVORITE OUTFIT AT THE COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA
Monday, May 11th, 2009Hollywood has the Oscars. The fashion industry has this year the Costume Institute Gala.The opening night celebration will be Monday, May 4, 2009, and the event is arguably the biggest fashion night of the year. Marc Jacobs will serve as this year’s Honorary Chair, and co-chairs include Kate Moss, Justin Timberlake, and Anna Wintour. Attendees will have the opportunity to preview the exhibit’s 70 masterworks of haute couture and ready-to-wear along with the editorial, advertising, and runway photography of those individuals who captured the essence of a fashion era. Everyone took fashion risks. Some worked, some didn’t!
Has announced, the spring 2009 exhibition will be The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion. The exhibition will examine the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty and will focus on iconic fashion models of the 20th century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras.
