And so, one more time, that once elegant evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art benefitting the Costume Institute has taken place again. Yes, it used to be in December and yes, it used to bring out the best of the best when it came to guests and yes it was a night to remember for all who attended whether for dinner or the “after party” which was the most fun of the evening even for those who sat for the dinner!

Sadly Ms. Wintour has turned this fairy tale night into a circus for D-list celebrities, wannabes, designers, never will-bes for the most part and least of all for the creme de la creme of those who really support the institute. It was insult enough when the ass kissing museum copped to name the Institute after Wintour, who clearly should have shown that she was indeed a lady and refused it and told the world that the Institute should bear the name of Diana Vreeland who turned the Institute into something to be reckoned with and turned the museum on its ear with Thomas Hoving!

So here you have the Cremora of Kreme or name that somebody... anybody and then ask why are they dressed like that? Welcome to the debacle of fashion!

Totally agree with you…. I was privileged to have attended so many years ago… when it was sheer elegance in the highest order…
ReplyDeleteCircus is coming to town again. Sad to see this mess.
ReplyDeleteThis event is an insult to the art of fashion.....And what of the major museum benefactors? I suppose that they stay far away from this circus......I can't blame them.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see Michael Kors groveling on the floor , with his butt on camera , making sure that the trains on his dresses were perfect as his clients walked up the stairs . Really, he couldn’t find someone to do it ? Also Prabal Garung, groveling and fussing
ReplyDeleteOver what ?
Ringling Brothers opening night was more elegant than this train wreck at the Met !
