It's currently 8 pm, The Met Gala which benefits The Costume Institute in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has been underway for approximately two hours, and I am to say the least underwhelmed. I've been waiting for this Met Gala with excitement and glee since the theme was announced back in December. I've loved Rei Kawakubo's vision and how she sees fashion and art being one intertwined, you can see it in all these looks. So with the previous images of past collection's created by Rei you can see how one can get excited to see how designer's and celebrities embrace the eccentricities of it all and choose for one night to throw caution to the wind and not look back. Such was not the case for the many, many looks seen on the (not so red) carpet.
Look there's no denying there are beautiful looks from the night, but when I think of Rei Kawakubo and Comme des Garçon, I'm not looking for beautiful, I'm looking for art. Something that speaks to the individual, not the masses. That's what first hooked me into fashion, it's what's kept my interests peaked ever since.
So here are my top dressed of the night, and see how I say top dressed, not best dressed because there were like I said many beautiful looks but that's now what I was hoping to see tonight. I wanted art, and avant garde looks.
