Let me start by explaining what the met gala is.......... its organized by the metropolitan museum of art costume institute. Its a benefit aimed at raising funds for the institute's department of fashion (and boy have they been raising some serious funds........). This event happens every first Monday of may. This year's exhibit was manus x machina (man versus machine) : fashion in the age of technology. The designers who dressed the celebrities esp for the red carpet intro really took this theme to another level, the interpretation, the aesthetics, the fabrics, the points of view, the crafts man ship was all at a 10. We got to see dresses that glow in the dark, latex gowns, steel arm suits and so much more, but of course the show stopper was Claire Danes glow in the dark gown by designer zac posen........................ take a look at this work of art .................... There were so many other designers who also did an amazing job to be featured later in the post. The met gala has a reputation of raising millions for fashion like last year they raised 12.5 million dollars imagine how much they made this year................... The center piece of this years exhibit was made by Karl Lagerfeld of Channel. This might just look like a 1980's wedding dress with a long bedazzled tail but the technology and technique applied to this dress is simply amazing. It was first sketched by hand, then manipulated on a computer to give it the complex pattern, then the pattern was hand painted on the train, then transfer printed by a machine then finished by hand and crafted with gem stones......... When will this kind of technology reach us here in Kenya (just a thought).......
We could go on about the met but lets take a look at some of the beauties that rocked the red carpet................... Thanx for your company.................... ALWAYS BE GLAMOUROUS!!!!!!!!
