Would you pay thousands of dollars to look like these people?
Yesterday, May 6, the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened its newest exhibit, “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion.”
It was preceded by Monday night’s high-profile opening reception, the Costume Institute Gala, held at the museum New York City. It traditionally features over-the-top fashion on the press-line and numerous celebrities. The event was co-sponsored by Kate Moss, Justin Timberlake, Marc Jacobs, Harold Koda, co-curator of the Costume Institute, and Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue. Annually, the theme of the exhibit inspires both fashion for the gala and for the year.
Famous guests to the event included Bono, Madonna, Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady, Heidi Klum, Bruce Willis, Rihanna, Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry, Eva Longoria, Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler, "Gossip Girl"'s Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Keifer Sutherland and Renee Zellweger.
The new exhibit is honoring models and fashion from 1947 to 1997. 1947 is considered the year the industry took-off because of the formation of Ford Models, the leading modeling agency.
It features haute couture and ready-to-wear along with photography and video of models who defined their fashion eras.
The Marc Jacobs sponsored exhibit will run until August 9 (Metropolitan Museum of Art, metmuseum.org).
