Fantasy Dressing the Met Ball Guests
We Play Dress-Up

Fantasy Dressing the Met Ball Guests

by Dana Kruspe and Steff Yotka

The Met Ball is like the Oscars for the fashion industry: all the best people in all the best dresses.

This year’s theme, punk, presents an interesting conundrum: will people go all out, liberty spikes and Givenchy nose rings and all, or just throw some studs on a Chanel suit and call it pseudo-punk?

We’re hoping for the former, and so in the spirit of going the distance, we’ve picked out our favorite punk fashions and paired them with Met Ball regulars like Anna Wintour and Julianne Moore and some fantasy guests (Bjork, anyone?).

Click through to see the looks we want to see on the red carpet, and let us know what you’re hoping for in the comments.

The Top Trends from the Fall 2013 Runways

by

Four cities, one season: Fall 2013. Nemo kicked the collections off and every city to follow added its own dose of wintry chill. Somehow all that cold weather caused a discernible note of restraint to float through the collections. Don’t worry–the passion and excitement were still there, but designers actively pursued defining new ways we can really dress next fall. These looks felt grounded in the return of the “Lady,” as fashion’s pendulum swung away from the risqué, toward the refreshingly refined (spike-studded shoulders be damned). Check out our top trends for fall in the slide show.
