So the MET Gala was held earlier today. It is the Costume Institute Gala at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art which is the biggest event on the fashion fundraising calendar. It is like the Oscars of fashion. Founded by publicist Eleanor Lambert, the most famous faces from the realms of fashion, film, music and art come together to raise money for the Met’s Costume Institute and celebrate the grand opening of its latest exhibition. The night is centred on the theme of the new exhibition. This year’s exhibition theme is Camp : Notes on Fashion while the previous themes were Punk: Chaos to Couture, Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, China: Through the Looking Glass.
