2009 Costume MET Gala

10. May 2009 12:28

Manhattan's equivalent to the Oscars in terms of glamour is the Metropolitan Museum of Arts' Costume Institute annual Gala. This huge event just took place in New York on Monday 4th May. It drew an immense crowd of A-listers (or wanabe A-listers...) while designers and couturiers rivalised in imagination to produce the most lavish and original dresses and outfits for the celebrities in attendance.

This year's theme was 'The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion’, a way of celebrating 50 years of the supermodel through an eponymous exposition to be held at the MET till August 9. Bronwyn Cosgrave in the Telegraph, claims that the Costume Institute's exhibitions have come to be a strong influence on fashion trends. This phenomenon called the "Met Buzz" has shown its effect when after the highly successful 'Goddess' and 'Poiret : King of Fashion' exhibitions respectively in 2003 and May 2007, collections of all the big couture houses as well as high street chains were strongly inspired by the Grecian dresses and Exotica-themed piece of clothing they featured in the following seasons.

The endless list of celebrities now making the rounds on the numerous best-dressed and worst-dressed lists of fashion magazines and blogs with their style being scrutinized is very impressive : Top Shop Muse Kate Moss in a golden lamé one-shoulder dress by Marc Jacobs, Anne Hathaway in Marc Jacobs as well, Liv Tyler, 2008 Academy Award Winner Marion Cotillard in a lovely peach Dior dress flanked by John Galliano, Gisele Bundchen in Dior too, Ashley Olsen in her own backless creation, Jessica Alba, Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, Kate Hudson who went for gold too and many more...

Who dressed best, who dressed worst? Check them out and give us your thoughts!

I dont know who you think you are, but youre just blowing smoke out your ears.  Nothing youre saying makes sense and its all a bunch of immature ranting.  If you want people to get behind your blog, you should at the very least learn a little something about what youre talking about!

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your thoughts?  I mean, what you say is important and everything.  But its got no punch, no pop!  Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video?  You could have such a more powerful blog if you let people SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.

Dont take this the wrong way, but youre totally boring me here.  Dont get me wrong, I think what you have to say is valid...totally!  But, youve got to give me something to think about that involves images.  You know what they say, -A picture is worth a thousand words.-  You could cut down on the words if you just gave me a few pictures.

What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this.  You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot.  Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored.  But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.

What you said made a lot of sense.  But, think about this, what if you added a little content?  I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention?  Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say.  In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.

Your blog is fine.  I just want to comment on the design.  Its too loud.  Its doing way too much and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I think is really important.  I dont know if you didnt think that your words could hold everyones attention, but you were wrong.
