Fantasy Dressing the Met Ball Guests
We Play Dress-Up

Fantasy Dressing the Met Ball Guests

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.

Thomas Tait Spring 2013

Before I left for my first ever London fashion week I asked Susie Lau for her list of designers to watch. Canadian-born, Central Saint Martins alum Thomas Tait was at the top of the list. And after seeing his spring show, set at an outdoor graffiti covered skate park by the Thames, I can see why.

Andre Leon Talley and Ralph Rucci On Beyoncé’s Met Ball Gown and How Dressing Kim Kardashian Would ‘Bastardize’ a Designer

This weekend I had the privilege of visiting Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, where the university had a handful of exciting events on hand–from a fantastic student fashion show (more on that later) to an eye-opening exhibit of Ralph Rucci’s work at the Andre Leon Talley gallery in the SCAD museum.

Rucci was honored this year with the André Leon Talley Lifetime Achievement Award, and to celebrate the designer sat down with ALT (clad in a red cloak, natch) for a candid talk at the museum’s auditorium with Robin Givhan as moderator.
