Met Gala 2015 - Red Carpet Fashion

Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute

China: "Through the Looking Glass"

May 7, 2015 - August 16, 2015

The Good, The Mad, The Crazies & The Shining Star

On Monday, May 4, 2015, The Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala in New York City benefit gala featured the new exhibit China: "Through the Looking Glass."   This gorgeous display will explore the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion.   The gala was a glamorous affair attended by a flood of celebrities, socialites and designers all ready to celebrate the Chinese influence on fashion throughout the ages.  Interestingly, the theme title seemed to confuse many in attendance with the characters in the movie Alice in Wonderland (2010) since the clothing choices by the elite were indeed a madcap of eccentricities.   These crazed apparel selections sandwiched amongst the stylish and appropriately dressed caused excitement and amusement for the world at large.

Yellow Mania Continues 2018

Yearly Yellow with a Happiness Vibe The happy hues of yellow in apparel remain vibrant and strong in 2018. Last year, you may recall my article on Yellow Apparel Spring 2017 published on April 5, 2017. And, once again, I seem riveted on these naturally sunny tones that are spontaneous, signify warmth and most eagerly anticipated. Perhaps it is the time of the year with the dripping pools of water, rain, sleet, hail and yes snow that stimulates the mantra, "please let there be sun". Of course, if you are in Palm Desert, California or Scottsdale, Phoenix or a tropical climate yellow rays of sunshine are always forefront and center. For the rest of us, we are ready to drink up a few bars of light. And, if rays come forth for a wee bit, we dance, run outside and have an extra kick in our step.
